That would be good indeed that we normalize that. Not especially for us,
but above all for the users. It should be less confusing to have only
one convention.
From this point of view, I would say that the latter is better. With a
spell named in *-cvs you don't have to wonder what version it is. ;-)
However I heard few days ago some of us who were worried about the
grimoire size. Considering this, the former may be better because it
allows code share.
