Well, .sty files _are_ special (normal files do not contain "self
references"). And if you think about rule:
notangle file.ext.pamphlet > file.ext
this _is_ alredy broken by many files (in 'src/hyper') when we
have
file.pamphlet -> file.c
or
/-> file.h
file.pamphlet -|
\-> file.c
I agree that you proposal is logical, but it is also clumsy: .pamphlet
extension is already pretty long and sticking on it another extension
will give very long files names.
