-g means guess the lexer.
The interesting thing is that for Debian at least this is the default
and the man page doesn't specify it. It's silently ignored.

--help line:
Usage: /usr/bin/pygmentize [-l <lexer> | -g] [-F <filter>[:<options>]] [-f <formatter>]

man page:
       pygmentize      [-l <lexer>] [-F <filter>[:<options>]] [-f <formatter>]

I have view aliased to vim so generally wouldn't need something like
this but I definitely can see how this would be cool as a fancy cat
replacement or alternative.
