Some can be considered obsolete in the R7RS world. Besides, having a
number of cryptic extensions seems the least problem to me.

Think of .c .cc .cpp .cxx .h .hh .hxx .hpp and another bunch of
extensions telling you whether to preprocess the source or not, etc.
This is the least problem with C++. :)
