Not kidding, my best idea so far is "foo.clinic.h.h",

Why not always put clinic into its own directory? Modules/mathmodule.c -> Modules/clinic/mathmodule.c.h Modules/mathmodule.h -> Modules/clinic/mathmodule.h.h At least that is consistent, allows easy exclusion in tools, and gets rid of the additional "clinic" in the filename. +1 If AC will work with both .c and .h files. I think a separate directory is the way to go. In theory, Argument Clinic works with any file for which it can iterate over by lines and recognize comments. It current supports C and Python files and automatically recognizes a bunch of extensions. -------------------- Okay, I'm taking a poll. I will total your answers and take the result... strongly under advisement. ;-) The rules: * The poll will be over in 48 hours, maybe sooner if a winner emerges early. * Please express your vote from -1 to +1. -0 and +0 will only be differentiated during a tiebreaker. * If you don't vote for a contestant, your vote will be assumed to be 0. * You may change your vote at any time while the poll is still running. * If you wish to nominate a new contestant, you may. Please give the contestant a name, and express how it would transform the filenames "foo.c" and "foo.h". I would strongly prefer that all transformations be expressable using str.format(transformation, filename="foo.c", basename="foo", extension=".c") . The contestants so far: Contestant 1: "Add .clinic.h" foo.c -> foo.c.clinic.h foo.h -> foo.h.clinic.h

-0. (Clutters the directory.)

Contestant 2: "Add .ac.h"

foo.c -> foo.c.ac.h foo.h -> foo.h.ac.h

-1. (Autoconf...)

Contestant 3: "Add .clinic"

foo.c -> foo.c.clinic foo.h -> foo.h.clinic

-1. (Doesn't get included in global *.[ch] search, clutters the directory.)

Contestant 4: "Put in clinic directory, add .h"

foo.c -> clinic/foo.c.h foo.h -> clinic/foo.h.h

+1.

Contestant 5: "Put in clinic directory, add .h"

foo.c -> clinic/foo.c.h foo.h -> clinic/foo.h.h

-1. (Too complicated; this isn't Python packages we're talking about.)
