Why have any magic at all?  Is there a specific advantage to extension
guessing that you have in mind?

It seems just as usable, clear, clean, fast, and unambiguous to say
"load this library", and have it just, uh, load exactly that library.

Having the system try to do what it thinks you want
seems...Windows-esque.  The "guessing" part perhaps belongs in the
HLL.
