How does that help me on the command line? How do I do this,

  % find . -type f -name "*.java" -print

or, this in a makefile,

  clean:
      rm -Rf *.o *.class

Granted there are solutions, but they're likely to be *very* long term 
(think of all the zillions of shell scripts and batch files out there).

I'd have slightly fewer objections to extensions being simply hidden in 
graphical filesystem browers (so long as that behaviour was optional 
and I could disable it) and no objections to having them mapped to MIME 
types ... and that's actually what's done in most cases.

Cheers,


Miles
