Rails 4.x and earlier didn't support `Mime::Type[:FOO]`, so libraries that support multiple Rails versions would've had to feature-detect whether to use `Mime::Type[:FOO]` or `Mime::FOO`. `Mime[:foo]` has been around for ages to look up registered MIME types by symbol / extension, though, so libraries and plugins can safely switch to that without breaking backward- or forward-compatibility. Note: `Mime::ALL` isn't a real MIME type and isn't registered for lookup by type or extension, so it's not available as `Mime[:all]`. We use it internally as a wildcard for `respond_to` negotiation. If you use this internal constant, continue to reference it with `Mime::ALL`. Ref. efc6dd55
