But editors (at least good ones, including vi, emacs, and kate) can be taught about new suffixes, and once taught, will treat .eh like .h. However, you do have a point that out-of-the-box editing suffers until you make the configuration change in your editor, until the editor itself is upgraded to recognize the new extension out-of-the-box. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
