Lua scripts don't have a required file extension, the .lua is just a convention in the lua world, but as an embedded language, you will fine lua scripts with all kinds of other extensions. *.lua however is kind of required when you import modules using "require", but as pdlua scripts aren't modules, we'd better avoid to use it as well. > An easy way to avoid this is to have pdlua look for a setup function > in the .lua it is trying to open.

I don't know much about it, but aren't loaders in Pd registered for file endings? I guess it may slow down things a lot if python, rt-scheme, Q, lua or whatever loader would first need to inspect all files to find out that most aren't loadable.
