+1 from me too. I'd also add test files to the list, which have at least .t and .rakutest (with the latter being preferred AFAK, so that GitHub will start highlighting them correctly). I'm not sure if there are other acceptable extensions for test files, though?

I'm revising how I name files that are included in my modules. With the name change to Raku, the file extensions also changed for script and module files. In addition Jonathan has defined some format extensions for Cro files, and I am sure there would be other developers who would like to
