Comment (by DH-Shredder):

 At the very least, I'll do a simplification run on those functions, and
 see if anything else can be combined.

 Indeed, I don't think this is currently optimal either, it's just
 complicated if we want to avoid code duplication.

 If it's the general consensus that it'd be more straight forward, we can
 also do a base WP_Image_Editor::supports_mime_type() (rather than
 supports).

 It'd just have the issues mentioned in IRC regarding confusion if an
 Editor author doesn't override (since it could return true, but for a
 different Editor), and also would still leave authors without a way to
 check if there is an Editor that both supports the mime and the methods
 (without just running get_instance() and checking for failure).
