That would be easy enough to implement, but I really have no idea
whether it would be the Right Thing.
The docs explicitly say that 'jpeg' is returned for JFIF JPEGs;
not, that implies, for EXIF JPEGs. I don't know what the
differences between these standards are, nor whether or to what
extent imghdr.what ought to be sensitive to the distinction.
