Greetings Guilers,
The other day I happened to run the file command on some .go files, and they show up as the rather unhelpful "data". So I added some bits to my /etc/magic file:
0 string GOOF---- Guile Object
>8 string LE little endian
>8 string BE big endian
>11 byte 0x34 32bit
>11 byte 0x38 64bit
>13 regex [0-9.]+ v%s
Much nicer.
I'm on a Debian system, and /etc/magic is there for the editing of local customizations like this. Not sure if that's possible on other systems. Sure would be nice if this could be updated at install time.

Neat! What about submitting it upstream? :-)
