Neat.. of course it seems obvious now, but that's funny - I'm Ukrainian and I think that without explicit explanation it would have never occurred to me to read, let alone pronounce it this way - the dot before the extension somehow puts an insurmountable boundary after "olive".
As a long-time beginner student of several Slavic languages, I like that word play too, with ".c" being "ts". It makes me wonder what missed opportunities there are for C library names with a funny pun.
