Game Engine Typemap (WIP) Engine-agnostic typemap that will work with UE, Unity, Godot, etc.

# Perforce File Type Mapping Specifications.
#
#  TypeMap:	a list of filetype mappings; one per line.
#		Each line has two elements:
#
#  		Filetype: The filetype to use on 'p4 add'.
#
#  		Path:     File pattern which will use this filetype.
#
# See 'p4 help typemap' for more information.

Hello. This is a helpful typemap. I believe there's one error:
.exp files are set to be binary. I believe they need to be writeable in the workspace. At least in my case, trying to compile Unreal Engine 5.

I have a related question. Should the .exp and .lib files just be ignored in P4Ignore?

Cheers.

@michaelwbell
I just checked my gist for p4ignore here https://gist.github.com/jase-perf/b15b57d72fa8095c732fdbc4ca948903
which is based on Epic's recommendations and there is this line:

**/Engine/Binaries/**/*.exp

So it does seem like at least those ones should be ignored. I wonder if all of them should, though.
