No.  The usage of extensions is dangerous, period.  The fact that the
extension is shown only helps users who already know what the extension
means.  Fortunately Unices force you to make files executable first. 
But the extension thing is bad anyway, there are other scenarios where
even if the file wasn't executable, you'd still have danger.
