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"

+1

Contestant 2: "Add .ac.h"

-0.5

Contestant 3: "Add .clinic"

-1

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

+1

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

-0.5

Regards

Antoine.
