.info is not mandatory.  The texinfo distribution itself uses texinfo-1,
texinfo-2, etc.

It also supports numerous other extensions, mostly for DOS.

static char *info_suffixes[] = {
  ".info",
  "-info",
  "/index",
  ".inf",       /* 8+3 file on filesystem which supports long file names */
#ifdef __MSDOS__
  /* 8+3 file names strike again...  */
  ".in",        /* for .inz, .igz etc. */
  ".i",
#endif
  "",
  NULL
};

static COMPRESSION_ALIST compress_suffixes[] = {
  { ".gz", "gunzip" },
  { ".bz2", "bunzip2" },
  { ".z", "gunzip" },
  { ".Z", "uncompress" },

#ifdef __MSDOS__
  { "gz", "gunzip" },
  { "z", "gunzip" },
#endif
  { (char *)NULL, (char *)NULL }
