Comment (by shazahm1@…):

 I could be wrong... but late static binding (correct term???) was
 introduced in PHP5.3, correct? So, the method calls using the `static`
 keyword for scope resolution such as `static::method_name()` would not be
 compatible with PHP5.2.

 > > @blobfolio Thanks for the patch. Can't comment on the functionality
 (not really my area), but in terms of structure: WordPress requires PHP
 5.2+, so cannot use namespaces. To use your library, it would need to be
 5.2-compatible.

 > Thank you Ryan! I removed the namespace, and also added a condition to
 check whether the constant `FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE` is defined, as that also
 did not make an appearance until PHP 5.3.
