mimetypes lib consider illustrator file ('.ai') as 'application/postscript' type. This is correct... but also wrong.

Old illustrator file (illustrator 9) are real postscript file but modern one are technically pdf. So guessing .ai as postscript lead to wrong guessing if you're using some software that make decision based on mimetype, you can of course, check both file_extension and mimetype but this remove usefulness of mimetype.
