Like wise with both Bat (rust) and Glow (go), the most popular
command-line "colorized" viewers: only files ending with .md will be
correctly rendered as Markdown.

As this README.source file is intended for humans to read, and using
Markdown in READMEs is popular, I only see benefits (for humans) in
allowing Markdown in this file, and can't really think of any
downsides as autocomplete will find this file with any suffix easily
as long as nobody accidentally go and add two READMEs, which is
unlikely.
