Planned improvements by the authors:
- Extract the most important metadata fields
- Support for OpenXML files and embedded OLE files
- Generic VBA macros detection
- Detect auto-executable VBA macros
- Extended OLE file types detection
- Detect unusual OLE structures (fragmentation, unused sectors, etc)
