Is there a reason "README" heuristics have not been implemented yet? I
realize no heuristic will be perfect, but I suggested an idea a while
back that would satisfy the vast majority of cases. In cases where the
heuristic does not suffice the extension would have priority and can
still be used. So what's the downside? I don't see any and that's what
I am wondering why this hasn't been implemented.

== Why do I care?

I do not like putting extensions on my projects top document files
(README, HISTORY, COPYING) . I have only done so in cases to appease
how GitHub functions. But it's not nice to be forced into something to
appease a development tool. I realize sometimes that is inescapable,
but when possible the development tool should conform to how
developers work, not the other way round. And for decades developers
have been creating README files with no extensions.
