O.k. Jerry, I'm being pedantic again, but Unix doesn't care about the
extensions of the files... it's only at the application level that they
(can) make a difference.  Most applications don't treat, for example, a .c
file any differently than any other.  It really is more a matter of the
file extensions having a meaning to humans, than to the OS.
