It's useful to classify e.g. .svn directories or .*rc files by their "extension"

I respectfully disagree. When trying to find directories named .svn or files named .bashrc, I do

filename in ('.svn', '.bashrc')

because I don't expect filenames like foo.svn or bar.bashrc -- have you ever seen one? These are not "extensions" for me.
