Apache and backup files

[Emmanuel Lacour <elacour@easter-eggs.com>]

What about adding in default httpd.conf something like this to protect
from reading common editors backup files (index.php~ ...)

<FilesMatch ".*(~|\.bak)$">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
</FilesMatch>


I think it could avoid fresh debian installs (and fresh admins...)
giving us some unwanted web source-code...


Waiting for comments...
