Good question -- not sure why anyone would ever have the need or desire to
save a file w/o the file name extension.

IMHO any user who does have such a special need should be capable of using
a shell command to rename the file after OO.o is done writing it.

That said, some new users might feel secure seeing visual evidence that
the appropriate file extension will automatically be added.

The only problem with that is Windows will often hide the extension. So, where you need it most, you don't see it.
