Contestant 1: "Add .clinic.h"

foo.c -> foo.c.clinic.h foo.h -> foo.h.clinic.h -0

Contestant 2: "Add .ac.h"

foo.c -> foo.c.ac.h foo.h -> foo.h.ac.h -1

Contestant 3: "Add .clinic"

foo.c -> foo.c.clinic foo.h -> foo.h.clinic -1 (This will break too many tools in the C/C++ tools ecosystem and I am not convinced by any of the arguments given those far.)

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 ("clinic" without the dunders more clear for a directory name.)
