Comment (by danielpataki):

 Hi nacin,

 I did think about using the mime type but I think a more general-purpose
 function might be a more reliable and more flexible solution. The mime
 type would work pretty well for audio and video, but wouldn't be too
 useful for documents, archive files and so on. I addition some files like
 markdown files don't have an official mime type.

 By using the filter in wp_ext2type() users could customize the thing
 completely.

 Let me know if I am completely unaware of how mime types work, I am not
 very familiar with them :(

 Daniel
