Hi.
There should be a way in shells to say what happens if I try to
run an executable file that has a filename extension belonging to some
set. For example, a builtin variable like this:
EXEC_SPECIAL=(/usr/local/bin/cg
.c .java .cp)
What this would mean is that if foo.c is executable and someone
tries to execute it, do this:
/usr/local/bin/cg foo.c
Similarly for foo.java and foo.cp, or more if there are more
extensions in the array.

The above note about shells is at the end of the page.
