Comment (by GregWeber):

 Thanks for the feedback and the pointers.

 1) yes. I thought appending `.th` would be good because it is tab-
 completion friendly, but it also appears to be friendly to different
 haskell extensions.
 2) no, we would want to see feedback from users that this is necessary. If
 `.th` is too overloaded we could just make it bigger. One more character,
 such as `.ths` might help. Although the extension could easily conflict
 with someone's computer-wide filesystem, it is unlikely to conflict in a
 directory with Haskell code.
 3) no, we would want to see feedback from users that this is necessary
