 In wp-includes/functions.php there is potential to improve the
 wp_ext2type() function. It currently doesn't recognise image file
 extensions.

 Although there is a filter available in this function ('ext2type') to use,
 I'd imagine expected behaviour would be native support for image file
 extensions without interacting with this filter.

 I've attached a simple patch that addresses this - will return 'image' for
 file extensions 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'jpe', 'gif', 'png', 'bmp', 'tif', 'tiff',
 'ico' (core allowed image filetypes).
