Dialog with the operator:

More than one file import plugins seem to be able to handle your file type:
  ~/share/projects/kicad/ThisIsMyExperimental.pcbx
Please choose the PCB plugin to open that file tyoe:

[x] SuperPCB V5
[ ] OttoTool V3.2.1
[ ] gEDA V1.2.3 

[ ] remember my selection for this file type.

[OK] [Cancel]

We have the 'file' command:
http://www.darwinsys.com/file/
https://github.com/file/file

It simply says: "The file command is "a file type guesser""
