yes, this is just a UX shortcut that allows leaving out the .blob
extension for blob types used by our stack. if you use a custom blob
type, you need to specify the full name including .blob when passing the
name to the client.

the reason is that with a generic catch-all matching to blob, we'd take
away our ability to add new index types without breaking clients relying
on that magic.

i.e., if a client could do `restore ... my_custom_blob.foobar`, we can't
add a `foobar` index/archive type ourselves later on without breaking
that client.
