File extension suggestion

Just an idea that came to my mind: with all this impending multi-platform support for Euphoria, perhaps we ought to modify the way we use extensions. Here are the changes I think would make the most sense: *.ex, *.e = Euphoria files which can be run on ANY platform without modification *.exd. *.ed = Euphoria files which specifically run under MS-DOS This way, we would have dedicated extensions for both platform-specific and platform-independent Euphoria programs. (I suppose, to be consistent, we'd want EX.EXE to become EXD.EXE as well, so that the platform executable corresponds to its platform-dependent file extension.) Anyway, it's just a thought; perhaps this is more of a long-term future idea, when Macintosh and/or BeOS ports are closer to reality.
