How about just going with the backward-incompatible change of disabling bot= h fallbacks entirely? In my opinion the whole fallback idea was already ob= solete when I worked on it in 1993. Today, I can't imagine a situation where it can be useful, that is, where y= ou work on Fortran or C sources without an extension. On the other hand, if you are working on thirty-years old sources, I argue = you should use thirty-years old tools, rather than assuming that today's to= ol do the right thing on them. =2D-=20 fp
