There's not really any reason that this shouldn't be done. Really, it
would be nice if muse had a project variable system like JDEE does;
unfortunately, this is actually a lot of work -- custom doesn't allow
you to modify buffer local variables, so the variables have to be set
and reset every time the selected buffer changes. 


In practise, renaming all the files in a project shouldn't be
a pain; the process is easy to automate. It might be nice to add this
support to muse, but for most people this will be a one off
problem. 

Incidentally, why do you want different extensions? I can't see what
particular value it brings...
