I do not care very much but I disagree. Having some files with .c
suffix and some with .cc suffix would imply some sort of difference
where there is going to be none. Much more confusing than C++
compiled .c files, especially to newcomers, I suppose... and I though
we cared about them, that's the reason why I'm writing this email. I
will not be surprised by this myself, so I can live with it.
