My immediate answer is: don't do that.  It's going to cause confusion,=20
and it's not necessary to do it that way, so don't do it that way.

It's not confused, it follows its documented behaviour: if the filename=20
has an extension, use the name as-is.  If not, try several extensions=20
from a (configurable) list of allowed ones, which includes .eps in a=20
plain LaTeX run, so {foo_bar} would find foo_bar.eps just fine.

Absolutely no.  This would kill one of the nicest features of the=20
epslatex driver: the fact that you just have to ps2pdf the eps part, and =

the LaTeX part will pass pdflatex flawlessly.
