Hi folks. We have a few unit tests now, and they are mostly consistently
named by adding test to the file name. For instance the tests for foo.cc
would be in footest.cc.

There are two minor downsides to that. First, that's a bit ugly to read,
and it may look weird if files, for instance, use _ to separate words
instead of squishing everything together, ie foo_bar.cc -> foo_bartest.cc.
Second, if there already is a footest.cc which is not for unit tests (not
super likely, but definitely possible), then the naming gets a little
ambiguous.

Would it make sense to mark tests with .test, so foo.cc -> foo.test.cc?
That's clear to read, more universally consistent, easily grepped for, and
will probably not be ambiguous.
