I don't agree with the "absolutely, non-ambigously" angle.
I must be sleepy, because I didn't realize at first that you had
reversed what I said and then attacked the strawman.
I didn't say: "a C file can not be confused with a GIF file based in a
regexp match". I specifically talked about "a file with a .c extension
containing a GIF image". Your example is a file with a .c extension
containing a C program, not a GIF image. I was talking about false
negatives, and you've shown a false positive.
Moreover, I'd like to remember that in this thread I've been
advocating to *deactivate* auto-detection.
