Grepping for strings.
For example, when renaming a binary, the sane way to check that you fixed
all users right now is
grep old-binary-name *.c *.h *-scripts
and you catch all users.
In contrast, "grep *" will catch totally uninteresting patterns like
object files etc.
I personally find that very useful, and I don't see _any_ point to naming
by what _kind_ of interpreter you use. Why would _anybody_ care whether
something is written in perl vs shell? There's no reason to name things by
the interpreter.
