\description{
There are a limited number of header "magic" bytes checked directly by
this function but cover quite a bit of ground. After that, \code{\link[=guess_content_type]{guess_content_type()}} is called which uses
file extension-to-MIME mappings. File an issue or PR if more magic-byte-level
comparisons are required/desired. If no match is found, \code{???} is returned.

Initial in-R header mapping logic borrowed from \code{MimeTypes.java} from

get_content_type(system.file("extdat", "test.pdf", package="wand"))
