Sorry, I misinterpreted, thought you wanted to buttonize everything by
default.

Yes, but maybe it is less intuitive.   Since the behaviour stays the same,
why change?  `.*/.*' as a default for MIME types feel pretty intuitive to
me, if I saw only `/' I would think it would only match ^/$ but since
string-match is used, this doesn't happen... O well.
