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.
