I didn't implement any kind of auto detect for immediate mode file
names, so without the '-f m' option, the filename will be treated as a
file regardless.  I.e., the above case, without '-f m', the file
'0xff' would try to be opened and read.

Does that cover your concerns, or have I missed something?
