Great idea. I just committed support for it.
Now, when you try to open a document, if it can't find a type for it,
rather than assuming it's a text document, it sees if any of the image
importers recognize it. If so, a simple document importer builds a simple
empty document and appends the image produced by the importer.
If you try to save it, it puts up a save as dialog.
