I work with several tools,
including Lazarus, Delphi, and some C/C++ compilers.
I use indude files, frecuently, in several enviroments,
( "*.inc"). But, got mixed up with both,
Pascal-related & C-related include files.
Altought FPC, allows you to include a text file with any extension, I
would like to propose that the Lazarus I.D.E.
explicitly allows an additional file extension,
maybe "*.incpas", "*.ipas" or "*.incp".
Two points here. First, I don't think I've seen C/C++ include files
named other than .h/.hpp, except where they're machine-generated code
from a specialist processor. Second, the implications of any change
would have to be considered on all platforms: having an assumed
extension might be OK on Windows where a file almost always has an
extension, but not on Unix where the executable normally doesn't.
