This was discussed on the xfree86-fonts and -devel lists a long time
ago (before the events), and this was definitely the best suggestion.
In particular, it was only used by one obscure piece of MS-DOS software,
and works on 8+3 filesystems.

So I guess you might as well adopt this extension, unless someone
objects loudly.
