I actually have a question this time, this is not a problem report ;-)
I have some files that exist in the output directory that are created during compliation, but not by nanoc. For example, I have Sass generate a sourcemap next to the CSS file. Essentially, this is a filter that generated >1 output file (e.g. output/assets/css/foo-fp123.css and output/assets/css/foo-fp123.css.map).
Sass (Compass) also generates sprite images from nanoc items, so there also might be output/assets/images/sprites/icons-s123.png.
The nanoc pruner will delete these files by default because they are not known to nanoc as there's the 1 file in-1 file out convention.
Is there an API to mark files as not to be pruned?
Are you open to extend the pruner excludes to be more flexible?
In my example above any path containing css will be exempt from pruning. I'd prefer a callback in the Rules, so I can decide on a case-by-case basis and support changing fingerprints, e.g. both icons-s123.png and icons-s456.png existing.
