Quite clear to me. (Except that I'd still prefer just leaving the
explanation out than opening this can of worms -- for instance, although
it might seem far-fetched, the "for this purpose" thing made me wonder
"Hm, is this supposed to imply that Zsh also might have other notions of
file extensions in other contexts?" And you know, I don't really want to
know the answer. Everybody knows what a file extension is, right?)
