When would one use the "extension" property (inherited from "FileSystemInfo") of the "DirectoryInfo" class?

The Extension property is inherited from FileSystemInfo.

When would you use it? As far as I know, DirectoryInfo represents directories and the actions you can perform on a directory. This would never include the need for an "extension".

What's the use of this property for the DirectoryInfo class?

Why would a DirectoryInfo object never include the need for an "extension"?

Names like foo.dir, bar.ext and foo.bar are perfectly legal for directories, in NTFS and many other filesystems.
