Feature-Request: Change extension for sch to kicad-sch because people also have eagle

Hi while using eagle and kicad in parallel and having successfully ported eagle 6.5 designs to KiCad, I get problems with Windows as the extension sch should be assigned to eagle in order to open eagle designs properly.
So as the pcb files are named .kicad-pcb it would be just fair and just to rename schematics
.sch to .kicad-sch so both tools eagle and kicad can co-exist. This is especially useful when
importing eagle designs to kicad in order to avoid confusion.
The change in the software will be small just a find and replace.

Maybe, it is good to have a config option for the extension behaviour later on, but at the
first step I strongly recommend to rename the extension to be able to use both tools in a productive
environment.

Cheers,

typo -> correct suggested endings as follows:
.kicad_pcb
.kicad_sch

This will happen when the new schematic file format is complete. It will not change for the current schematic file format.
