------------------------------------------------------------
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.
The current {{getExtension()}} on MimeTypes that are text/html returns an empty
string. Is this a bug...or did I miss how to do this properly? :)
I have no doubt that I may be reinventing the wheel.
Thank you, [~gagravarr]!

> {{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.
