I feel like there should be a normalized "does this file kinda mostly look like the old one or is it /dev/null or a horse .jpg" functionality in most stdlibs. I feel like we have the technology now.

The selkie is a creature from Irish, Faroese and Scottish folklore who has the appearance of a seal in water, but sheds its skin to come ashore and reveal a human form. If a human finds the skin and hides it, the selkie cannot return to sea. 🦭
