I don't know of any *standard* extension, but you could use .awk if you
like (I think most people would, look at .sh .ksh ...). But as far as I
know, .a is for *archives*, made by ar(1) (e.g. /lib/libc.a), not for
assembly source: that is .s. Although there seem to be systems using
.asm or .a68 or .a86 ...
