I don't know. I think you'd want to consider it very carefully. I'd be pretty
annoyed if I typed 'cat foo', thinking foo contained a few lines of text, and
cat instead opened foo.exe because I was in the wrong directory or something
like that.
It seems like most of the problems you refered to are related to make and/or
install. Wouldn't it be better to "fix" these programs than to build something
like this into the core?
