Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Review the repository's existing naming conventions and the proposed .hs, .hxs, and .hscript alternatives, then record a maintainer-approved extension decision in the issue or relevant project guidance.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

What file extension should be used for storing hscript code in a file? Some of my ideas were .hs (which is already used by Haskell) and .hxs, and I’ve seen .hscript used in another issue on this repository.
