  Files are rather special objects in that one often drastically changes
the abstraction level at which they are viewed.  Is a movie on a DVD an
object?  How about the .vob files that contain the actual video?  If you
want to do a virus scan on a .vob file, it's not a video file - it's
a series of bytes.
