Helpers and the Department of Redundancy Department

I'm in the midst of getting away from CodeIgniter's obsession on instantiating my libraries (sometimes I just want to include a class goshdarnit!). While trying to use helpers to help me accomplish this goal I came across something odd.

Helper files need to be in the "helpers" directory and must be suffixed with "_helper.php". Why the redundancy? I'll give the devs the benefit of the doubt that there is something else going on, but seriously - let's just scrap that and by convention anything in the "helper" directory is a helper.

I understand about the CI_ and MY_ issue, but this is for other helpers that don't conflict.

That is all,
Chlorine
