Short answer: it actually doesn't.

Long answer:  lxsplit isn't as flexible and as weird for the split file name
and suffix usage as split is, it always appends .001 (up to .999) to the
filename and expects the same pattern when joining files: easier for users
and it is the same behaviour for hjsplit.  It also makes sure that no files
are missing between *.001 and the last one when joining, and only strips
the .<number> from the input file for the output filename.  Less cmdline
arguments.

This util is for people who don't know about split / cat and only want
to do a quick large file splitting / joining.  And yes, if it want a gui app,
which I intend to do, it would be more useful.

My important consideration was a compatible equivalent to hjsplit which is a
popular utility in Windows.
