Howdy,
In OS X 10.2.1, when a file has a name such as "My Greatest Script
2.2d4" (with no extension), everything after the decimal point is
considered a name extension when using "info for" and when doing a
"Get Info" in the Finder. The Finder will even hide the part that it
considers an extension (if set to do so), which results in a
truncated name such as "My Greatest Script 2".
I mention this only because I can see where it might produce
unexpected results for scripters who are working with the extensions.

Disclaimer: I'm still trying to become familiar with OS X so this
caught me off guard. If it's just a common sense issue which doesn't
even need to be considered, I apologize for wasting your time. :-)
