Description kjmcdonald 2008-01-01 04:08:39 UTC 
Please allow more ways to determine file type, not just file extension.

Most times user-visibuile scripts are not named with .sh or any other extension. 

I would like to see the ability to look inside the file to determin file type. For UNIX and UNIX-like scripts, it would
be nice to look for patterns in the first line that begins with "#!". The remainder of the line should fully describe
the interpreter that script uses.
