So, ".htaccess" and "foo.htaccess" should be treated the same way? Is that what Apache does?
I've never personally used "foo.htaccess", but I have had files named, e.g. "test1.htaccess", or "backup.htaccess". And I don't know, but I assume a "foo.htaccess" would be an older or test version of a .htaccess file. So, my usecases say, "yes, they should be treated the same."
