	Hmm - but surely our architecture is in fact rather good for the
"Instant Guesstimate" -> "refined perfection" type thing with the
add/changed type API ?

	Would it not be possible to instantly guesstimate the MIME type so the
icon view can render something quickly thats ~ 95% accurate, and then
step-wise refine the incorrect guesses later ?

	Then again I havn't dug there in many moons,
