@Jelmer,
I don't want to offend anyone by using the word "lazy". I'm (like you) not a native english speaker. I'm just a perfectionist, and not easily satisfied with a "more generic" solution if a better fitting one exists.
I use this .htaccess for all my projects, which doesn't use the generic file or directory check. If I have to exclude more from rewriting, I prefer adding a RewriteCond manually then rely on something generic, so I'm always in control of the magic mod_rewrite performs.
Code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# ATTENTION: if this .htaccess doesn't work, check if rewrites
# are allowed in httpd.conf. You need to specify:
# <Directory "my-website-directory-here">
# Options +FollowSymLinks
# AllowOverride FileInfo
# </Directory>
# or have these options defined globally in your httpd.conf file
# to allow a .htaccess with rewrite rules to work!
# activate URL rewriting
RewriteEngine On
# if the application is installed in a sub-directory of the document
# root, modify the path below accordingly
RewriteBase /
# nasty hack to capture ruined URI's by a mod_rewrite bug.
#
# You need these two lines when you use mod_vhost_alias, and this
# .htaccess file generates a "500 internal server error".
# In the rule below, replace --DOCROOT-- by your full docroot path,
# without a leading slash, but with a trailing slash!
# (i.e 'path/to/my/docroot/', without quotes offcourse)
#
# RewriteCond $1 index\.php/$
# RewriteRule ^--DOCROOT--(.*)$ /$1 [S=1]
# Do not rewrite links to our documentation
# You should remove this on production sites!
RewriteCond $1 !^docs
# do not rewrite links to website assets
RewriteCond $1 !^assets
# do not rewrite for our php files in the document root,
# or for robots.txt requests
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|cron\.php|file\.php|ajax\.php|robot\.txt)
# but rewrite everything else
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
# If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's
# can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal.

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>
