I seems that it would be much more easier  to update search pattern so it
includes *.Cox then change all files extensions. Moreover these files are
located not in header but in a test directory and I don't see a reason to
name it with .ipp extension (which is IMO is reserved for implementation
placed in header).

Maybe original convention does not meet our current reality/needs?
