Actually it can be turned off in the `Set filetype` field of the `More
Options` extender of the open dialog, and it seems to stay off for the
session, ie until Geany is restarted.  Its used so rarely nobody
remembers its there.

And of course files open that remain open at the end of the session
have their filetypes remembered between sessions.
