Let the file "toto" contains the string "tata".
From my terminal,

when I type : source-highlight --failsafe --input toto
I get :

>   <!-- Generator: GNU source-highlight 3.1.8
>   by Lorenzo Bettini
>   http://www.lorenzobettini.it
>   http://www.gnu.org/software/src-highlite -->
>   <pre><tt>tata
>   </tt></pre>


But when I type : source-highlight --failsafe < toto
I get :

>   source-highlight: missing feature: language inference requires input file
>   <!-- Generator: GNU source-highlight 3.1.8
>   by Lorenzo Bettini
>   http://www.lorenzobettini.it
>   http://www.gnu.org/software/src-highlite -->
>   <pre><tt>tata
>   </tt></pre>


Notice the error message.
I would wait from "--failsafe" that it does not complain when it cannot infer the source format, in both cases.

Also good job and thanks for the lib
