file extension confusion: --clearsign makes binary .asc

I'm sorting thru the GnuPG file extensions these days.  One thing I just
noticed is that "gpg2 --clearsign icon.png" creates a binary file called
"icon.png.asc".  The signature is ASCII but the rest is still the plain old
binary.  Shouldn't that file be .gpg or .sig?
