Yep, I remember complaining about this already... The implementation
is pretty much nonsense! What could be more counter-intuitive than
indicating a value of None to make the code guess the format, where
the filename already has all info needed to do so...?

Hmm, still doesn't seem like the SF bug tracker is used a lot:
