[PD] *.lua => *.pd_lua or *.l_lua?

Hi Claude and list,

I'm thinking if a custom file extension for pdlua classes would make
sense? Currently pdlua loads all *.lua files, which complicates
working with *.lua modules not intended to be used as pd classes:
Those would have to be in a directory outside of Pd's search path to
not pollute Pd's namespace. 

So my suggestion would be to use something like *.pd_lua, *.pdlua or
*.l_lua as extension. What do you think? The same question may become
an issue for other loaders as well, so a standard solution would be
nice.

Ciao
