I think `file representation suffix' is an unclear term.  There are such
file representations are text, image, unibyte, literal, hex dump, etc.
And using this term in the context of `load' is very confusing.
The purpose of this variable can be mistakenly interpreted as specifying
what file representation `load' uses.

Maybe in the same way as `image-file-name-extensions' is used to specify
image file name suffixes, the name of a new variable should be
`load-file-name-suffixes'?
