Hi,

As I wanted to have a textual preview of .npy files, I noticed that there is no 
support (partial support in magic, none in xdg-mime upstream), and simply no 
documented MIME type (official or not), for the .npy file format.

Would it be reasonable to consider application/x-numpy (which is the 
placeholder I use for now in my code [1] so I'm only suggesting it by lazyness 
and lack of imagination) and perhaps even registration of application/numpy at
 https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml
?

Best regards,

--
