Description
Actually, we're not trying to reinvent the wheel here, rather adapt it to suit a slightly different purpose.
Below are a few main points and reasons as to why we've created filetype:
\* file does not work so well for loosely defined filetypes ( ie, vCards )
\* file uses a text-based type database which can impose unwanted delays
in frequently invoked processes
\* file does not have a heirachial type tree (ie, executable->MSDOS->EXE )
\* file is not designed to be incorporated at a source level into existing
projects
\* Simpler and broader type detection engine ( 'file' is very good at
pulling out every detail about a file, ie, the resolution of an image,
however we do not wish to seek out such fine details )
