/**
 * This is the API to define mappings between file names, file extensions and
 * content types, typically used by repository providers in order to determine
 * whether a given file can be treated as text or must be considered binary.
 *
 * Mappings for names and extensions can either be contributed via an extension
 * point or via this interface.
 *
 * For methods that determine the content type for a given file, the following
 * rules apply:
 * <ul>
 * <li>Mappings for the entire file name take precedence over mappings for the
 * file extension only.</li>
 * <li>User-defined mappings take precedence over plugin-contributed mappings
 * </li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * If a mapping is added for a name or an extension that already has a mapping
 * which has been contributed by a plugin, it overrides the one contributed by
 * the plugin. If the user-defined mapping is deleted, the plugin-contributed
 * mapping is valid again. This interface is not intended to be implemented by
 * clients.
