autocmd on a List of Extensions

Yesterday I was VimScripting and learned that the autocmd function can execute against multiple file extensions in a single line of setup. Here's a contrived example:

" ~/.vimrc
autocmd BufWritePost *.exs,*.ex :! git add %

In this code, after every buffer write on files matching .ex and .exs, add the current buffer to our Git staging area. Learning this helped me reduce duplication in my configuration.
