The match field for a test matches files based on their names and the
program passes the matched files to the tests. The mime support should
add a field mime-match that would cause the program to match files
based on their mime type (using python-magic) and add those to the list
of files matched by the match field.
Note that while libmagic does decent job at detecting various binary
file format, it's hopelessly bad when it comes to distinguishing between
sources of different programming languages.
