It's not about "identifying" content, like on MSDOS. It's about the useless exercise to filter out unknown file patterns of left-over/temporary files from editors and package managers. These filters can never be complete, and stuff goes terribly wrong sometimes, if these files are read as "normal" files. A simple file extension will solve this problem without any guesswork, that's all.
