Just to clarify: I do not object to it if that's the best our API offers. Better than no information at all on which formats might work.
I was just wondering why we have that API, it seems to me like an attempt at being complex (also since you can't just ask: which formats are supported? But instead have to iterate through them until you find a working one) and useless at the same time, or in short: it sucks.
