Sure, .set should be good for most purposes.  It's just for my very
specific case that I use compound suffixes.  In my C projects, I do
similar things (and even more in C/C++ mixed projects), where you can
find the following suffixes (for each pair of .c/.h files):

$ find tmp/ | grep memzero | sort
tmp/c/mem/set/memzero.c
tmp/c/mem/set/memzero.c.O0.i

This allows me to compare how each optimization level affects my code,
and learn the exact changes in assembler output easily.  As a nice side
effect of building with so many optimization levels, I get a higher
number of diagnostics about my code, since some optimizations enable
certain diagnostics, and others truncate them (due to the code being
removed at some point).

Cheers,
Alex
