-Handling MIME outputs is similar, except that one also provides the
-type of the object to be written:
-```jl
-mimewritable(::MIME"image/png", img::AbstractArray) = ndims(img) == 2

-In cases where the type is defined in Base julia, such declarations

 ## Implementing loaders/savers

-For MIME output, you would implement a method like this:
-```jl
-function Base.writemime(s::Stream{format"ImageMagick"}, ::MIME"image/png", x)
-    io = stream(s)
-    # Do the stuff needed to create the output

-It's perfectly acceptable to also create a `Base.writemime(s::IO,

-therefore in some cases might improve performance.
