non-standard but common types. Including Martin's suggestion to add
rejected non-standard types from patch #438790. Specifically,
guess_type(), guess_extension(): Both the functions and the methods
grow an optional "strict" flag, defaulting to true, which determines
whether to recognize non-standard, but commonly found types or not.
Also, I sorted, reformatted, and culled duplicates from the big
types_map dictionary. Note that there are a few non-equivalent
duplicates (e.g. .cdf and .xls) for which the first will just get
thrown away. I didn't remove those though.
Finally, use of the module as a script as grown the -l and -e options
to toggle strictness and to do guess_extension(), respectively.
Doc and unittest updates too.
parameter, but did not. This was found because it can create failures
elsewhere based on the presence of mime.types files in some common locations
the module searches by default.
(I will be writing a test for this module shortly!)
