Deprecate the interfaces in MimeAnalyzer that return lists as
space-separated strings in favor of replacement methods that return
arrays.
Deprecated:
- ::getExtensionsForType( $mime ) : string|null
- ::getTypesForExtension( $ext ) : string|null
- ::guessTypesForExtension( $ext ) : string|null
Added:
- ::getExtensionsFromMimeType( $mime ) : string[]
- ::getMimeTypesFromExtension( $ext ) : string[]
- ::getExtensionFromMimeTypeOrNull( $mime ) : string|null
- ::getMimeTypeFromExtensionOrNull( $ext ) : string|null
- "From" is clearer than "For"[1] and is neatly symmetrical with "To"
(viz. ::mExtToMime and ::mMimeToExt).
- "MimeType" is less ambiguous than "Type", which in this context may
refer either to media type or MIME type.
- "{..}OrNull" is better because it helps users remember to handle a null
return value. Putting the "OrNull" at the end (getXFromYOrNull) is
better than putting it in the middle (getXOrNullFromY) because it's
harder to ignore that way, at the cost of a very slight grammatical
ambiguity.
Usage in Core will updated in a separate commit.
Lastly, this change prepares for the deprecation of mutating the public
'mExtToMime' attribute as a means of registering extensions. It will be
formally deprecated in a follow-up change.
