That's indeed a valid argument pro .pp
And a large argument against .pp extensions is that NO editor out there
(except for FP Text IDE and Lazarus) knows about .pp, so pascal syntax
highlighting never works. You have to always manually force the pascal
syntax highlighting, or if the editor allows, manually add the .pp
extension for the Pascal highlighting.
That's actually a good argument for using a custom extension: FPC is
unique in its syntax (since it includes TP, Delphi, Mac and so on) so
it's reasonable to use a unique extension to ensure that a naive
highlighter doesn't get confused.
