The current behavior is clearly a bug, since a leading dot does not start an extension, but marks a file as "hidden". The latter is on UNIX, and while this is different on Windows, I cannot imagine that anyone would a) have dotfiles under that OS, or even then b) rely on the current behavior that their full filename counts as "extension".
FWIW, all of the "standard" Windows functions from the Microsoft CRT (_splitpath) to the Shell API (PathRemoveExtension) to the CLR (System.IO.Path.*) believe that ".cshrc" is the extension of the filename ".cshrc".
I'm not sure if that's an argument for or against the patch, though.
