The interest of this feature is that you will always need similar extensions
between the source and the header and it is automatic here. I have no example 
of the opposite. Of course, If many complaints are reported, this will be

I think that this feature is important to differenciate the grammar files
which contain C code or C++ code. As such, .yxx and all its friends must
work.
