(Reported by Denis Bitouzé.) The extension mw is used in Maple. Best to allow other file extensions.

I've committed a first approach (\morewritessetup{file=...}) but I'm worried about misuse and having more problems. See Customizing names of auxiliary file: safe practices? on stackexchange. One option would be to always empty the file at the end of a run, and check when writing it that either it does not exist or it is empty.
