Tim Allison updated TIKA-1692:
------------------------------
    Attachment: MimeUtilTest.java

So the use case is: you've already done file type identification to figure out 
the MimeType and now you want to save the extension-less file with a 
human-friendly extension.

> Enable getExtension() for texty file types

> {{getExtension()}} offers a handy way to add a "detected" extension from a 
> {{MimeType}} for a file that didn't come with an extension.  However, this 
> functionality doesn't work with texty files: html, xml, css, csv, etc.  
> Let's add a static helper class (or build it into {{MimeType}}?) that will 
> output an extension for all mime types including texty mime types.
