It's just to help me organize which files I use as included files (.inc) 
and which files are actual PHP scripts that can be requested with a URI 
(.php).

Also, I set an Apache directive to refuse requests for any file with the 
.inc extension, so my database connection info, password, etc is 
(theoretically) safe from being served directly.
