Go for it. This was also an annoyance for me. I have tons of dicom file 
without extension, and I could not even read since it stoped at the 
extension matching.

BTW, if GDCM made it into the ImageFactory how are we going to handle 
that (without file extension) ? I believe we are defaulting on another 
type of image if no extension is found.
