It is not decides by the extension.
In order to be recognized as a `.mrb` file, the following three points must be satisfied:
- File starts with "RITE"
- At least `sizeof(struct rite_binary_header)` bytes can be read
- `NUL` is included in the first 64 bytes of the file
If these are not met, it is judged as a text file and it is processed as a Ruby script.
The `bin/mruby -b` switch is still available which treats the given file as a `.mrb` file.
New `MRB_API` function:
- `include/mruby/compile.h` and `mrbgems/mruby-compiler/core/parse.y`
- `mrb_load_detect_file_cxt()` (remove with `MRB_DISABLE_STDIO`)
NOTE:
- Even script files now always open in binary mode for `bin/mruby`.
The `\r\n` is handled by the `nextc()` function already, so there is no problem even on Windows.
- The `nextc0()` function in `mrbgems/mruby-compiler/core/parse.y` can now specify a string buffer and a file pointer at the same time.
In this case, get it from the string buffer first.

We assume meta-programming is less used in embedded environments.
We have moved following methods:
* Kernel module
global_variables, local_variables, singleton_class,
instance_variables, instance_variables_defined?, instance_variable_get,
instance_variable_set, methods, private_methods, public_methods,
protected_methods, singleton_methods, define_singleton_methods
* Module class
class_variables, class_variables_defined?, class_variable_get,
class_variable_set, remove_class_variable, included_modules,
instance_methods, remove_method, method_removed, constants
* Module class methods
constants, nesting
Note:
Following meta-programming methods are kept in the core:
* Module class
alias_method, undef_method, ancestors, const_defined?, const_get,
const_set, remove_const, method_defined?, define_method
* Toplevel object
define_method
`mruby-metaprog` gem is linked by default (specified in default.gembox).
When it is removed, it will save 40KB (stripped:8KB) on x86-64
environment last time I measured.
