I realise this sort of suggestion is probably more appropriate
to be introduced in a major revision, like going from 2.x to a 3.x
version change when we are likely to see the older files invalidated
anyway.

It should not be difficult to provide a simple migration
tool (to automatically handle padding an extra character into
the older convention) so nothing gets damaged in irritating ways.
Annoying perhaps, but not overly irritating.
