Thanks, it will get into 2.4.0.  I extended the expression to:

  [qr/^Microsoft Cabinet (file|archive)\b/i => 'cab'],

to also recognize "Microsoft Cabinet archive data"
(I just happened to find an example of that).

Don't know what would be best. For loose (short, general) patterns this
may be dangerous. For quite specific patterns it's probably alright.
So far there were hardly any problem of that sorts, so I'm somewhat
reluctant to change what works.
