Okay, but your one file type is more likely to be included in the 1600 that libmagic supports rather than Magika's 116?

For that matter, the file types I care about are unfortunately misdetected by Magika (which is also an important point - the `file` command at least gives up and says "data" when it doesn't know, whereas the Magika demo gives a confidently wrong answer).

I don't want to criticize the release because it's not meant to be a production-ready piece of software, and I'm sure the current 116 types isn't a hard limit, but I do understand the parent comment's contention.
