Comment #13 on issue 1018 by [email protected]: Alternative extension for test data in plain text files
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1018
I would vote against this. It is not a generally useful construct IMO, and would make the implementation more complex and thus more likely to have bugs and less likely to ever get implemented.
The feature request already has major scope-creep, from "change .txt to something else" to "give text files and resources different extensions". I'd rather not see this feature get even more bloated.
Simpler is better.
