It’s not an unreasonable expectation that the OS would do the conversion if you changed the extension. Then the machine file format and human readable extension would be in sync.

I realise no current OS does this, but it’s certainly not a bad idea.

(Didn’t the original MacOS do something like this with its resource fork?)
