Synopsis: DefaultType and AddType accept handlers, but documentation does not 
permit this.

State-Changed-Why:
It isn't really a feature or a bug, just a side effect of
how things are implemented.  The behaviour can sometimes be
different than if it were a MIME type because both a type
and a handler can sortof apply in some cases.

There is no reason to use AddType this way, since there is an
AddHandler.

There isn't anything entirely equivilent to DefaultType
(SetHandler is except that it forces all files to be set
that way; if you use it in a Files section you can get specific
cases, eg. files without an extension)

There are a fair number of configurations that do rely on
this relationship between them, but it isn't something we
really want to encourage so it isn't and shouldn't be documented.

Use at your own risk, bearing in mind that we normally want to
avoid breaking things that a large number of people use even if they
aren't documented.
