I'd wager that the number of new plugins that require access to new
types of files will be fairly limited.... If it's a concern you could
add a mechanism for the plugins to register themselves as handling
certain file types with the detection code. Honestly, now that I think
about it, that's probably the best way to go for all of it. Maybe just
an optional parameter to the function that registers a plugin as a media
handler?
