Perfectly reasonable, Evert.

However, if the engine has a choice between opening the f-file and opening the h-file, it should open the h-file, which it already would given the h-file bonus.

That was the basic intention behind it: that the separate file bonus suggests the engine some files are actually more advantageous than other.

I think I already tried something similar (local test) in the past, but I pushed a test anyways.
Thanks Joerg!
