That's the point.  I have been a Ruby user for last 15 years, and I
have never felt omitting extension help me being lazy.  I am sure I am
lazier than you are here.  In fact, I am too lazy to think about .rb
as a extension, it's only a part of file name unless it a library name
(target of require).  So there must be something help you by omitting
extension.  Could you explain how this help you to be lazy, unless you
are too lazy?

Tab issue is reasonable, but not strong enough, if I have "foo.rb",
when I type "fo" then hit tab, I will get "foo.rb" anyway.  It's
highly dependent on how you choose file names.
