I don't mind slogging through the code to fix it, I just don't want to
waste my time if it's not going to be accepted.  

As far as the patch goes, my plan would be something like this:

1) find whatever structure is maintained per buffer, keep a file format
indicator in this structure
2) fill it in when a file is opened
3) use it when a file is saved as the default type

There's already an indicator when you save a file for the type, which
was going to be my #4.  #5 was going to be keys to switch the file type,
but that's already there also.

I contributed a regexp search patch at one point long ago, though I'm
sure the code has changed quite a bit since then :)
