- Reasonable default should be with #, since many strange languages use
  it.
- Surely *.scm = "G0; arch-tag: ID\n" is an obvious type. *.sch and
  *.bgl are less common variants. *.el, *.cl and *.jl are different
  dialects with the same comment syntax.
- *.pm is an alias for *.pl, if we take *.pl to mean perl (some people
  use it for prolog!)
- The default handles Makefiles, automakefiles, perl *.xs, shell scripts
  etc. right. However, special care must be taken for the configure.in:
  configure.in = "G0ifelse(\n# arch-tag: ID\n)\n" (yes, it is 3 lines).
  (the same should be for *.m4)
- Oh, *.l = "G0/* arch-id: ID */" and *.y should understand the same.
- You can't tag shell files on the first line, since #! magic usualy
  resides there and must not be touched.
- People use many strange things. In one program I am writing, there
  are *.c4 files. I recall someone talking about *.ui files on this
  list. Often the custom files are extension-less.
- Scripts are usualy extension-less, no matter in what language they
  are.
