Here, you might want to look at either "top-level" file type -- ".bz2" here, or at everything after first dot -- ".tar.bz2", depending on what you want to do.
I think it's bad enough that we have inherited this bogus semantics of a file 'extension', so let's not add to that. Users can always parse filenames with their own application-specific methods, if to them a name carries a particular meaning. Thanks, Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...
