   Thank you for bringing this up @tychoish  -- I agree the current state of 
FileType/FileFormat is not ideal as it means, as you have pointed out, that it 
is not possible to use ListingTable with user defined file formats.
   
   > make the FileType an implementable trait rather than an enum.
   
   I would very much like to see this and I think it would result in the code 
being significantly more modular as well.
   
   That being said as you have discovered it is a pretty major undertaking, but 
I would be interested in helping make it happen / reviewing PRs and designs 
(though I don't think I have time at the moment to contribute code)
   
   perhaps @devinjdangelo or @tustvold have some ideas to add as well
