Autodetect noisy files

Problem space

There are a couple categories of files to consider:

• binaries (e.g. pictures / audio / video)
• files written in natural languages not recognized by the dictionary

Possible strategies

Consider keeping stats on a per file / line basis...

Look for new filename extensions?
