Hi everyone,
Yesterday on IRC, I suggested that I should start checking in the safer
portions of the extensionless-files branch, so as to make the eventual merge
of the feature easier. Tim suggested that I put together a design doc and
post that here for wider review first.
Here's the design doc:

The branch with the code in it is here:

Ongoing discussion on this topic is in Bugzilla:
