  Well, what matters to me is that C++ itself is not a strict(!) superset :) But actually this is also not that relevant here, as the actual problem is this: the shared-mime-info meaning of inherits is "is-a". E.g,
  
  C inherits PlainText inherits Octetstream -> C is-a PlainText is-a Octetsteam. So e.g. any handlers (like viewers) of a given format can also handle files of a format that inherits from it.
  
  C++ inherits C, as currently claimed in s-m-i, woule mean: C++ is-a C. Which would mean C++ is a subset of C. Which is the reverse of what we have talked about above, no? :)

  No, still trying variants, being unhappy with code amount.
