Excellent idea: refiling to an arbitrary non-org-mode file will either
skip the file (if you are lucky, in which case you just pay a
performance penalty) or it will try to use it in which case you'll end
up with an error. There is no point in including arbitrary files into
the refile list.

It might be better to check the major mode of the buffer, rather than
its filename: it is not necessarily true that foo.org is an org-mode
file, or foo.txt is not. But in general, I think it would be better to
use a more targeted approach, rather than trying to use whatever happens
to be open at the time.
