+** New method to detect content of entity
+

+"file" command. It is an alist of "file" output patterns
+vs. corresponding media-types. Each element looks like (REGEXP TYPE
+SUBTYPE). REGEXP is pattern for "file" command output. TYPE is
+symbol to indicate primary type of media-type. SUBTYPE is symbol to
+indicate subtype of media-type.
