Quoth DJ Chase:
        $ file chapter.set
        chapter.set: ditroff output text for PostScript, ASCII text

Wouldn’t “.ditroff” be more appropriate?

file tells you that chapter.set contains the ouput of ditroff, not ditroff itself. So no, both .set (which I find agreeable) and .trout are more appropriate than .ditroff.
