Are you asking, "Did any system keep file type
information out of the
file name?" The answer is "yes, several did".
This puts me in mind of VMS, which had fairly rich file structure. I
recall fumbling about with CONVERT /FDL on occasion. It had things
like record-based files and even much (most? all?) of what today I'd
call ISAM available in the filesystem....
