    2.4   What's the standard filename extension for a reStructuredText 
file?

    It's ".txt". Some people would like to use ".rest" or ".rst" or 
".restx", but why bother?
    ReStructuredText source files are meant to be readable as plaintext, 
and most operating systems
    already associate ".txt" with text files. Using a specialized 
filename extension would require that
    users alter their OS settings, which is something that many users 
will not be willing or able to do.

How would you like it configurable. Would you like it to just read 
'.rst' files as well, preferring (but not requiring) index.txt over 
index.rst ?

What should it do with the filenames if it finds  'xyz.txt' and 
'xyz.rst' in the same directory ?
