Learn something new every day... I didn't know it was possible in this way.

However, changing the source form for the extension is IMO a recipe for
confusion. It's easier to conform to the de facto standard (.f90 for
freeform, .for or .f for fixed-form) than to port to other compilers and
fiddle with compiler options. And this is only the most trivial example.
