New submission from Charles Law <charles....@gmail.com>:

DICOM is a file format used frequently in medical imaging (it is also a 
communications protocol). It has been used since the 80's, and is still widely 
used by modern medical equipment.

It has a well defined format: 
http://dicom.nema.org/dicom/2013/output/chtml/part10/chapter_7.html

This proposal is for the addiction of a check to imghdr module to detect DICOM 
files, with imghdr.what() and return 'dicom' if a dicom file is found.
