Great point Carl. I use SUFFIX? quite a lot, which took getting used
to, as it is less programmerish than "extension". I would say type-of
might be a four-letter option to match the length of 'path and 'file,
but MIME types are probably a better match for that. Hmmm, I wonder if
there's a good way to name things that normalizes file! and url!
terminology (drive/path/name/extension, host/path/target)?
