I have a merge tool that does syntax highlighting based on the file
extension. Given this:

I guess I lose syntax highlighting if I were to use mergetool.tmpsuffix;
but then I don't use Eclipse. Could it be that this is really just a
band-aid for Eclipse users, not IDEs in general as you are hinting in
the Documentation of the new variable?
