...unless the VWR file's name ends with ".vwr" and you're opening it on the trunk, as, in the trunk version, some heuristics have sets of file extensions associated with them and, if the name of the file being opened has an extension (after stripping off any compressed-file extension such as ".gz"), the heuristics that have that extension associated with them are tried first (in order, if there's more than one), followed by the heuristics that don't have that extension associated with them.
