Ah, OK.
Well, I guess '.txi' is there for the sake of 8+3 systems (which we
don't support anymore anyway), and .texinfo is there because, well,
once you have in place the code to support two extensions, it's
basically effortless to support three or more.
Since we are cleaning up corner cases and "unwarranted flexibility",
maybe we could drop support for the '.txi' and '.texinfo' extensions?
This would allow us a simplification that would make your objections
on [PATCH 10/26] moot ...
WDYT?
Stefano
