Your later motivation for this -- "noone thought of this reason at the time" -- seems good enough to me :-).

How's this for a compromise: treat any extension whose first character is "r" or "R" as a .rcp file; otherwise the existing behaviour. This has the advantage that we get to punt on the decision of exactly which other extension to commandeer ;-). > And assuming it's a good change, how do I submit it? :) Post a patch to the pilrc-developer mailing list that you'll find via http://sourceforge.net/projects/pilrc/ . Aaron will ignore it because he is too busy to put together a new release :-), but others such as Neil may well pick it up.
