That assumes people only open files from within their editor.  Way back 
when I was using Windows regularly I switched Scite in for Notepad so 
double-clicking a .txt opened something moderately sane.  This seems 
like a reasonable thing to want to do, and can't work without file 
extensions.

This seems like a no-brainer to me.

This allows Windows users to easily open the files; since Windows relies on the file extension to determine which app to open the file with. For files that contain RDoc formatting, add a .rdoc extension. This proposed change does not conflict with GNU Coding Standards [1], which only specifies the required names of project files and not their extensions.
