Recutils version 1.9

I inadvertently saved a recutils file as something,rec (something-comma-rec)

After a few attempts to print the records using recsel on something-dot-rec, I realized that the file name contained a comma not a dot.

So I called recsel on something-comma-rec and the records in the file were printed out. I tried a couple of other operations such asĀ  recfix , and no errors.

I would expect an error message such as "Invalid recutils file."

This a bug or is there some deep dark secret concerning naming conventions? After all, the manual uses "dot"rec (or "period"rec, if you prefer.)
