That would not be an especially nice solution. For instance, I regularly
work in enviornments where the behavior of double-clicking on a file's icon
is in part determined by its "executable" bit. In such environments,
double-clicking on a file with the executable bit set results in the system
trying to "run" the file, even if the file is not a program or script, rather
than opening the file with an appropriate application (such as a text
editor). It would be rather annoying to double-click on a generated
Makefile, for example, expecting it to be opened in a text editor, only to
have the system try to "run" it instead.
