I like that idea very, very much.
In some plugins we already do check for filetype on document changes to
activate functions or deactivate them. Having this as kind of a general
build in would help a lot and opens a lot of new doors for plugin devs.
As well as it might will remove some unneeded stu from core for most users.

Cheers,
