Actually, the problem is not with source files, but with _header_ files.
It will be extremely awkward to share libraries if one vendor uses .h, 
another uses .hxx and another uses .hpp.

Suppose we all agree to use .h -- what happens when someone standardizes
on class String?  Should it go into a file `string.h'?  How does this
work if we also support ANSI C library in this environment?
