Ah, my bad.  I was confused by looking at line 175 and not line 181.  As 
the sal/osl file abstraction stuff is URI based, such functionality 
would probably best fit with (generic) URI handling code.  There's 
low-level functionality at rtl/uri.h[xx] and UNO-based functionality at 
com.sun.star.uri.UriReferenceFactory idl, neither of which offers any 
"set extension" functionality, though, and there's tools/urlobj.hxx, 
which does offer such functionality, but would kinda lead back to square 
one.

Yeah, that's right, I guess.  (Though one would hope that that 
eventually gets replaced as well, to reduce the number of different 
concepts?)
