However if this autodetection feature is useful in other cases (no matter how it's activated), it should be a codec, because as part of the open() function it isn't reusable.
But an autodetect feature is not a codec. Sure it should be reusable, but making it a codec seems to be a weird hack to me. And how would you reuse it if it was a codec? A reusable autodetect feature would be useable to detect what codec it is. A autodetect codec would not be useful for that, as it would simply just decode.
