The Files.probeContentType documentation includes this sentence: "The
string is guaranteed to be parsable according to the grammar in the
RFC". However, one of the values I get is "image/OLYMPUS Raw Format" ---
the RFC doesn't allow spaces in the sub type. Of course this also
neither an IANA registered type nor does it start with x-. My registry
entry for orf is "image/OLYMPUS Raw Format", so it is difficult to
return anything else, but it does mean the guarantee can't be maintained.
Another illegal MIME type
"app/gg" app isn't a legal type (example: Documents\My Google
Gadgets\Analog Clock-Google.gg)
