While GCC defaults to extension lookups, you can specify what type a file really is ("-x c"). I'm guessing they felt a need for it for *some* reason -- perhaps because extensions can't always be relied on?
But even if you found a nice counterexample: How many c files you find in the www that don't have c extension? How many c files have filetypes? Do you expect that a c file has a c extension? So you are talking about very rare cases, but I am talking about the majority of files you can find outside our macs.
They whole discussion might be the result of the shortcoming of the opendialog window. If it would have a file type selector like the savedialog, hopefully everyone could agree that there would be two (or more) options. "All readable files", which should show all text files and "html(,xml,php etc) files", which should only show files with the right extension.
I have so many different text file types on my system that I only want to see the files I can really open.
