"then only allows one file." why? I don't see what would be the problem
of something like this?
  geany --some-option --no-whatever "$@"
Should accept anything as arguments, one file, two files, options, ... no?

As already said, I just played with this after having seen a report, I
personally don't mind to see the "bug" fixed, so as far as there is
still a way to support these suffixes (which I mind about), I'll be fine.

So I think other thoughts on this would be a plus; then I think I'll
wait a little longer, hoping for other opinions.
