Well, the issue of treating "file" as whichever of (file.lnk,
file.exe, file.bat, etc.) is appropriate is probably too much of a
change to the Emacs way.
I don't think people will find shortcuts very useful in Emacs if they
have to type `.lnk'.
Emacs primitives are too high-level for
that; the best place would be one notch before file names are passed
to system calls.
Does it make sense to handle shortcuts inside of Fexpand_file_name?
