Oh, I totally get that. I'm just saying that often people refer to a
script without it's .pl or .py or .sh or ... "cvs2cl", for example, is
many times found as cvs2cl.pl. "cvs2svn" is found as cvs2svn.py. To
be honest, when I say cvs2svn.pl the first time, I thought, "Hm,
somebody has actually gone through the trouble of porting cvs2svn.py
to Perl." Obviously, this isn't what you've done, but...

Can you the see the opportunity for confusion here, and how it could
have really easily been avoided?

Sorry. I should be talking about this on your new list. :-)
