Clarify option '--extensions=x,y,z' does NOT accept the '.' separator #62

Honestly, using the . as a separator never entered my mind, as it would be very ambiguous (does the . belong to the extension or not?)

Would you like this to be part of the extended help?

It's probably just my brain. I forget in many cases the . is a regex char or a method call, and its absence certainly doesn't change anything. Most people wouldn't even think of it.

But I do have another issue confusing me--see #raku

Thanks.
