I remember this question being asked at Stump the Experts at WWDC a
few years back. The official answer from the Apple gurus was that
the .m stood for "messages".
The expert who answered the question was Steve Naroff, who wrote
the original front-end support for Objective-C for gcc. Someone came up
to challenge his response and and he pointed out that made the decision
to use .m as the suffix.
Ah, well, then messages it must be --- Steve would know, he was
involved in the original Stepstone compiler work. (Although I would
consider methods mostly equivalent! 8-)
