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

Contestant 2: "Add .ac.h"

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

Contestant 3: "Add .clinic"

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

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

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

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

    foo.c -> __clinic__/foo.c.h
    foo.h -> __clinic__/foo.h.h


I didn't add a contestant for what Stefan Krah originally suggested 
("foo.c -> foo.h") because it's not clear how this would handle "foo.h".


You'll notice the current behavior is no longer in the running,
