You can't tell me about users:  I have two sisters <wink>.  For years, they
saw ".pdf" and ".html" etc as just part of the file name.  "." didn't mean
anything special to them -- that's a learned convention.  Then again, my
definition of "user" doesn't include people who run scripts from shell
windows either.
