full support on pli programms for extensions other than .pli

We have a lot of pli source programms with different extensions. Only a few are .pli. Most are plid, plim and plib, showing the purpose of the programm (dialog, module and batch). Would be very helpful to have the full ability for pli sources in the workbench and build with such extensions as mentioned before.

    There is a huge AVP bank account in Brazil that needs this feature. They used the workaround for version 7.x, but it does not work in v.8, so this is a regression in my opinion. Without this feature there is no way for the customer to use the product. Please, consider the priorization of this RFE.

    We also have 10 different extensions of our PL/I programs, but we solved it with a generic mapping in the ZOS-Mapping dialog - like PLI* goes to .PLI
    And in Eclipse, we changed this extensions too and now we have no problems with this.
