People habits. It will be the only one tool which does not accept
*.prg files without extension. People using CLIPPER.EXE, HARBOUR.EXE,
CL.BAT, hbmk scripts, etc. used to call such tools without extension.
After many years I still have problems in using CLIP -e from command
line due to such requirement. Of course it's only my POV.
If the only one reason of above modification was your improvement
for wilidcard expansion inside hbmk2 which is unusable for SHELL
users which works in MSYS or POSIX systems then for them it will
be only some functionality reduction. In such I case I suggest to
restore previous functionality inside the function which makes
expansion and if file name does not contain any wildcards and
extensions simply add .prg extension.
