Dealing with pathnames in multiple implementations is already hard.
Don't make it even harder!
FWIW, cmucl uses *load-source-types* to specify a list of extensions
for source files that is searched in that order for source files, if a
fasl can't be found and the pathname doesn't specify one. I think
this is pretty easy to understand.
I think this is really only meant as a convenience at the repl where
typing less is convenient. I expect programs to be much more explicit
by either using a defsystem or explicit extensions.
