The purpose of file extensions is not beauty. The question still is
if you can live with .4th. And at the meeting you did not say that
you cannot, and we had a consensus on .4th.
It's not my favourite extension, either, but we did not succeed in
finding an extension that everybody finds beautiful and that has all
the other advantages of .4th (in particular, lack of conflicts with
existing non-Forth file formats), and we won't find such an extension
now. If we try to go back on our decisions, we won't get anywhere.
Is that your intention?
