Comment (by dan.rossiter):

 @SirLouen, for someone who openly admits to not understanding the gap in
 functionality, you certainly have some strong opinions on the matter.

 For starters, you make some wild assertions about the security
 implications of having a function return a read-only superset of MIME
 types supported in the current deployment with no actual data to support
 any security concern. This sort of commentary is wildly irresponsible at
 best.

 Additionally, you ask *why* the functionality is needed, even though the
 initial question spells out a use case for the functionality. For your
 further edification, the functionality is central to providing a full user
 experience for Document Gallery (https://wordpress.org/plugins/document-
 gallery/).

 If you have any legitimate questions about the needed functionality, feel
 free to ask them. But your hyperbolic and colorful language attacking
 volunteer plugin developers is unwelcome here.
