| Summary | FILE-TYPE? should return NONE for unknown types |
|---|---|
| Description |
[updated note] The example code shows a problem with LOAD that is caused by file-type? returning TEXT for unknown suffixes. It is better to return NONE, then let the calling code decide how to deal with that. |
| Example code |
>> (read %foo.bar) == read %qux == true >> (load %foo.bar) == load %qux == false >> load %foo.bar == [1 2 3] >> load %qux == "[1 2 3]^/" |

May actually be the result of a bug in FILE-TYPE? which reports files without extension to be of type 'text:
>> file-type? %foo == text >> file-type? %foo.bar == none |

When the text and markup codecs were added, the file-types list creation code wasn't adjusted to match. If a codec has no suffixes assigned, it shouldn't be in the file-types list. Perhaps we can assign some suffixes to the text and markup codecs, but either way the file-types list creation code needs to be adjusted. |
