I completely agree: TOOWTDI.

For me, .App. just looks like an error.  It's close enough to Python
to be familiar, but far enough to be jarring.  .App+ at least harkens
to regular expressions, or shell globbing, etc. and at the very least,
doesn't look like broken Python.

BTW, my first suggestion was .App... (ellipsis) but Jim hated that. ;)
