I'm glad you like it!
Concerning the idea of "specification in the header", I literally spent
half a day making up my mind on different formats, but came to the
conclusion that none of them really were helpful.
Honestly, I think writing a parser from scratch is the most important
aspect of it. So if you parser contained some magic string, a
first-looker would surely wonder (especially if confronted with the
file only).
More importantly, "imagefile" gives a hint on what to search for,
whereas a magic string could be quite ambiguous.
