------------------------------------------+---------------------------
 According to
 [trunk/docs/frontends/webapi.rst?rev=0ef593947755a8b81edc73d033219724268faf80
 #writing-uploading-a-file], you have to specify either {{{format=MDMF}}}
 or {{{format=SDMF}}} when creating a mutable file. However the user of an
 API might not know or care what is the difference between those two, and
 might also want to automatically start using a newer format if that newer
 format becomes the default, without changing the client code. This ticket
 is to add {{{format=mutable}}} which uses the default mutable format.
