That's not UNIX, that's POSIX! And by that definition, Windows
would be UNIX too...

Looks like we have no point keep discussing on this since we have
different view on what Unix means.
My points are just:
- in the CLI the type of regular file is usually irrelevant.
- Unix (i.e. POSIX) doesn't specify how should the desktop component
of the operating system determine the type of a regular file. Free
desktop environments (e.g. Gnome, KDE, XFCE) stores the file type as
MIME type.
