As it turns out, this is actually really hard to do.

It does not seem possible to redefine a subdirectory of public_html.
Many directives in .htaccess are just ignored or generate errors when
you know they're supposed to work. I managed to create a separate
directory not under public_html without a .htaccess that worked
(mostly - index.php was still preventing directory indexing).

If would be nice if there was an Apache directive that meant "clear
everything and treat all content as static text/plain,
unconditionally, everwhere".
