template files have misleading names

Rails uses a number of template files with pathnames of the form

%r{^lib/rails_generator/generators/

  components/[^/]+/templates/[^/]+\.rb$}x

This may be confusing to some unwary readers, who look at the extension and expect to see plain Ruby code in the files. It also gets in the way of mechanized analysis tools (eg, MetricFu, YARD), because it requires them to pay attention to a Rails-specific naming convention.

I'd much rather see these template files follow a naming convention such as "*.rb.erb" (as used for View files).
