Yes, it would be a bit easier, and my first version had only two
arguments.  Then I found out that the length of the first string is
already known at _all_ potential callsites, using this command to
identify candidates:

	$ grep 'cmp.*"\..*"' *.[ch]

We could add something like this:

	#define has_ext(a, b) has_extension(a, strlen(a), b)

to make it easier to use for code that doesn't already determine the
string length.  I think we should add it only after a user has been
identified, though.

Thanks,
René
