[NTG-context] \input behaves different

24 Dec 2008

      MKii and MKiv differ in their behaviour of \input with respect to  
the .tex suffix.
Consider the following program:
   \starttext
   reading file1.tex: \input file1\par
   reading file1a: \input file1a\par
   \stoptext
Processing with mkii reads both files, but mkiv chokes on the second  
\input:
! I can't find file `file1a'.
<to be read again>
                    \par
l.3 reading file1a: \input file1a\par

This seems a very nasty difference to me, because it will necessitate  
me to rename a great many files. Is this behaviour intended?
