Automatic detection of masterfile format
Description
BIND 9 could automatically detect the format of the zone file format (text, raw or map)
Request
Implement a setting "masterfile-format auto;" where BIND 9 will "sniff" the format of the supplied zone file (text or pre-compiled raw or map) and "do the right thing" based on the format of the file.
On a secondary this setting would reflect the current default (writing a "raw" file image).

This request came up during a BIND 9 training at Linuxhotel/Germany from a BIND 9 user.
