Of course, we can: if the extension says ".el" or ".elc" we know it's Elisp (compiled or not), and if it says ".dll", ".so" or something like that, we know it's a binary module. > It's unreliable. If the user wants to use ".so" on an Elisp module, she'll get what she paid for.

Yes, it's really easy to fix. Stefan
