SYNOPSIS

    # retrieve object instance
    my $mime = Data::MIME->instance();

    # return a hash reference of user defined types
    my $types = $mime->custom_types;

    $mime->default

    # set the default mime-type with Dancer::Config or Dancer, like
    set default_mime_type => "text/plain";
    # or directly in your config.yml file.

    # add non standard mime type
    $mime->add_type( foo => "text/foo" );

    # add an alias to an existing type
    $mime->add_alias( bar => "foo" );

    # get mime type for standard or non standard types
    $nonstandard_type = $mime->for_name('foo');
    $standard_type    = $mime->for_name('svg');

    # get mime type for a file (given the extension)
