Agreed.
Especially since it make it easier to use tab-completion in bash :-)

Not agreed. well, partially...
If it is indeed a zip file then it could more or less be logical to
have xmame fail with such a thing. On the other hand if
/path/to/something can be read as
/path/to/extracted-zip-file-in-a-directory, then it should result into
'xmame -rp /path/to/ extracte-zip-file-in-a-directory-is-gamename'
behaviour.
However I have the felling that in such case it would be much simpler to
also allow /path/to/something to be a zip file without the extension.
