Comment (by nacin):

 I think this function highlights two issues with WP_Image_Editor:

  * WP_Image_Editor_GD does not check if, individually, PNG, GIF, and JPEG
 can be supported. It assumes all can be supported. gd_edit_image_support()
 does not make that assumption. Is this a safe assumption to make and we
 were just being hyper-sensitive previously?

  * There doesn't appear to be a good way to check if a mime-type is
 supported by any of the image editors, which is what
 gd_edit_image_support() did, without actually loading the image.

  * It looks like supports_mime_type() isn't even considered in test(). I
 assumed it was.
