It stands for "with flags".  I've seen _with_options and _extended
also used.  This is like oid_object_info_extended() that has a
variant oid_object_info() that is a simpler and less capable wrapper
for common use cases.  None of these overly long names are my
favourites X-<.

With brief inspection, many _ext() in midx.c are more like helpers
that deal with a class of files with .$ext for various extensions;
they are not the primary interface to external callers, and many are
extern only because the code is spread across midx. and midx-write.c
instead of being in a single compilation unit.

OK, let's update that.  Thanks.
