In fact, I realize that I was wrong in the paragraph above. The issue is
this: if the format was automatically probed, then the safe mode must be
enabled. Unfortunately, it is not possible to know whether the format was
automatically probed. Enabling the safe mode by default would break scripts
that already exist.

My solution is this: add a signature, make the signature enable the safe
mode, and use the signature for probing.

Old scripts will still work with explicit -f and no signature. New files can
be probed automatically if they have the signature, and enable safe mode.
