[TYPO3-dev] References to locallang.php files in core - needed anymore?

Yes, I think it's meant by design that the file extension doesn't 
matter. And yes, you have to override it using the same file extension 
as it's accessed by the core/extension.

I once planned to change this behavior - when we would now get rid of 
the .php in core, all the customizations wouldn't work anymore, thus we 
need this compatibility layer.

Can you provide a patch? Seems like you already digged into the code ;)
This would be really great - I don't think I currently find the time to 
change this (but would review the patch, of course!).

Kind regards
Steffen
