Well, specifically talking about the test files, it's not only matter of
habit or principles but also the Makefile only supporting this suffix as

I had to rename tfexpand accordingly just because of that (the test itself
is explicitly constructed in a way allowing compilation also with TP/BP
and preferably also Delphi - although I cannot check the latter myself).
