Comment:

 This solution is not something the WP Core is interested in pursuing, so
 I'm closing the ticket as WONTFIX.

 I still think there is value in providing more complete file validation
 during the upload process, so will keep the enhancement alive in plugin
 form (https://wordpress.org/plugins/blob-mimes/). I've renamed it to `Lord
 of the Files` and extended its focus to cover upload issues more
 generally. To that end, version `0.5.0` disentangles it from this ticket's
 patch (moves stuff out of wp_* namespaces, etc.), and adds SVG
 sanitization for sites that have whitelisted that file type.

 Developer reference has been moved to https://github.com/Blobfolio/blob-
 mimes/tree/master/wp, so anybody interested in hooking into the provided
 filters, etc., should take a peek.

 Thanks everyone for all the discussion and feedback!
