I think that file extensions can't be a steady basis for categorization. It is
possible that user can use any extension as you want during file naming (for
example, save text file with png extension). Or it is possible to use file
without any extension. Only magics in a file structure can be a steady basis.
But analyzing of file structure on the file system driver level is a breaking
of some fundamentals, from my point of view.
With the best regards,
