Should tools support .t6 extension?

[AlexDaniel]

See Raku/doc#2576 for the previous discussion.

Affected tools and other things:

• zef

• App::Mi6

• App::Assixt

• prove (no ticket)

• prove6

• travis

• https://github.com/perl6/modules.perl6.org

Also:

• docs Should we start recommending .t6? doc#2576
• wikipedia?
• github linguist (no ticket)
• https://fileinfo.com/ ? Note that it already knows about .p6, but not about .pl6 or .pm6 (there's an entry for .pm6 associating it with a discontinued product)

I'll submit a PR for Mi6 this evening.

This also affects prove6.

Actually, I'm not sure prove should be changed. I don't think it's really sense to keep adapting perl5 toolchain to be more suitable for perl6 purposes, when there is a perl6 equivalent available.

This also affects prove6.

An implementation of this is part of the dev branch :-)

App::Mi6 currently writes a .travis.yml that doesn't take this into account

This has been fixed in skaji/mi6@017c8dc

This no longer matters.

Although, similar approach should be used for new extensions, but I believe creating a new ticket is a good idea.
