Well, CL spec require almost nothing. Basicaly the only requirement
is that it returns "extention" of the name.

Below is the trouble:

FriCAS only reads files with known extention, in this case FriCAS
expect extention "input", but gcl PATHNAME-TYPE returns
"fricas.input" which does not match.
This is temporary trouble, in the future I plan to rework FriCAS
code to avoid CL pathname functions, in particular the above
will use string comparison with a substring.
