Collective built doesn't accept js without .js...

I tried to build a collective which contained a javascript. It was in an
object box [js myparent]. This works fine in Max. But the built of the
collective created an error message:

error: can't open myparent to include

Ok, I got back to my original patch and changed [js myparent] to [js
myparent.js]
Now the collective will build without error.

I think the collective building process should accept the same as Max...

I want to rely on running a patch in Max should also work as collective
without change. This could lead to a nightmare on a big patch with lots
of javascripts after months of developement it should be turned into a
collective/standalone...

That I don't have to type the .js is convenient and enhances the
readability of patches, but if it doesn't work in building collectives,
standalones or plug-ins, I'd rather have an error message which forces
me to type .js than accepting it and creating problems later.

Solution: either force for typing .js (probably just with a warning,
elsewise old patches will break), or the collective building process
should accept the same shortened names as Max...
