[plt-scheme] What does the Scheme file extension ".ss" stand for?

Why are you not? We've had LFN for more than a decade. 8.3 is almost
like COBOL... ;-)
It's quite nice to use long extensions --- this helps to avoid
collisions between programs and improves the overall file UI experience
(in Finder, Explorer, Nautilus or whatever). In the shell we have tab
completion anyway.
I kind of like .latex and .iMovieProject for example.
PS. Not that I would like to force a switch but this proposal is IMHO at
least as good as .scm or .ss.
