No, \input always accepts an extension. And it doesn't append .tex to
a filename which has an extension already. What you are talking about
is \include. The latter is a LaTeX macro which expects the basename
only.
Suppose that \input doesn't allow you to specify any extension, how
could you \input{name.aux}? Note that \input is a primitive and
\include, \includegraphics, ... are macros depending on it.
If the argument of \input doesn't have an extension, ".tex" is added
automatically. However, I think that this was a very bad decision.
Regards,
Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
