That's what I meant. It is okay for a Python-script not to be recognized by
"file" that way, it is enough that I can do it, if I need to. But file
should recognize this for Tcl, because it is common there. And if it needs
to work for Tcl only, one can construct a simple mechanism for "file" to
check this.
