It seems cheap enough and ubiquitous enough to belong in core to this naive reader... It can be a real hassle to write to a brain-dead webhost of a client to convince them to add a PECL extension just so you can do some fundamental sanity checks on an uploaded file to have some degree of confidence that it's not evil content. Asking the client to switch hosts is seldom an option. Hacking something up with exec() or having to roll your own Mime Magic for a distributed file upload library seems like a lot of developers will be inconvenienced... -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
