At my work we use a similat file naming convention (NameOfTheClass.h contains 
definition of class NameOfTheClass) since about 10 years already. It makes 
for much clarity and for very simplified refactoring and mass editing tools 
(nothing that couldn't be done in a setting similar to current Qt3 or KDE 
with a bit of scripting wizardry). 

Apart of this I don't see a big advantage, so IMHO the eventual downsides 
should be considered very carefully.

One downside that comes to mind immediately is the increase of porting efforts 
for 3rd party apps.
