Recutils version 1.9
I inadvertently saved a recutils file as something,rec (something-comma-rec)
After a few attempts to print the records using recsel on
something-dot-rec, I realized that the file name contained a comma not a
dot.
So I called recsel on something-comma-rec and the records in the file
were printed out. I tried a couple of other operations such as recfix ,
and no errors.
I would expect an error message such as "Invalid recutils file."
This a bug or is there some deep dark secret concerning naming
conventions? After all, the manual uses "dot"rec (or "period"rec, if you
prefer.)
