I'm not sure it's a good idea to replace file magic entirely with MIME, as MIME tends to get identifiers a lot less frequently than file magic identifiers. And there's a _large_ world of dependency generators that rely on file magic filters, and that's something I'm not sure I want to break unless we're doing a new major version.
