"Executable envelopes" is at least ''close'' to what I'm thinking of. Though it is slightly odd, and a web search didn't turn up much evidence for it. -[[User:Jsummers\|Jsummers]] ([[User talk:Jsummers\|talk]]) 19:46, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

 :Perhaps a new category for source code. Or perhaps serialization. Or both. Nothing really stops a format from appearing in multiple categories. Todo for the future, I have an idea about assigning a format two categories, which might be called "usage type" and "data type". Usage type might be image format, audio format, or text document format (for example MS Word doc would end up here.) Data type would be stuff like XML based format, proprietary binary, plain text, etc. I need to polish that suggestion. Anyway, I recommend a new category for source code.

		+	I want to make an index article for certain special executable quasi-formats. It would list (or point to) self-extracting archives/installers, executable compression (obfuscation, etc.), executable documents, etc.
