The question was what else to use other than .dit or .ditroff given
Kernighan has ‘never been fond if it’.
I don't like ditroff either. It's too long as a suffix. Given troff is
tee-roff is it die-tee-roff, unfortunate, or dee-eye-tee-roff? Both are
long to say.
$ file chapter.set
chapter.set: troff typeset output for PostScript, ASCII text
