Sorry, there is no command.  I browsed extview.el, whose find-file
advice led me to mailcap.el, whose mailcap-parse-mimetypes function
contains that code.

I guess somewhere else "text/x-c++src" is mapped to "more '%s'".  Can
you see anything suspicious in the output from `C-h v mailcap-mime-data' 
?  My guess is there's a default entry for the "text" major type.

That's normal.
