There will certainly be performance problems -- and I am not sure it  
will solve more than the current system.

I added the two cases I am aware of to a wiki page [1] where people  
are encouraged to add the actual problems they face with the current  
system.

I certainly haven’t crossed the “improve file type sniffing” from my  
to-do, it’s just that I do not see the current system as weak. It’s  
just not perfect. But to make it perfect, I think it is unavoidable  
to introduce some sort of logic into the system.
