So this is amusing.  Google will let you search within filetypes that
it doesn't itself understand very well (except I guess to the extent
that something like "strings" can pull out text labels it can index). 
If you run searchs on filetype:wmf, you'll return results, but google
also tells you that the file format is unrecognized.

Meanwhile, I just idly searched on a few other file formats that
occurred to me, and all I can say is that there seems to be many, many
opportunities to cheat these days in programming classes.
