That does not matter, that is more for user convenience in figuring out 
what the files are for.

\o test.txt
select * from cell_per;

Then doing:

psql -d production -U postgres -h localhost -p 5432 -f test.sql
Null display is "NULL".
psql:test.sql:82: ERROR:  syntax error at or near "line_id"
LINE 1: line_id |  category  | cell_per |      ts_insert      |

psql -d production -U postgres -h localhost -p 5432 -f test.txt
Null display is "NULL".
psql:test.txt:82: ERROR:  syntax error at or near "line_id"
LINE 1: line_id |  category  | cell_per |      ts_insert      |     ...

The error is the same as psql just processes the file without regard to 
the extension.
