Please don't!

We have renamed this package already way too often. This ain't funny anymore:

try:
    from zope.contenttype import guess_content_type
except ImportError: # BBB: Zope < 2.10
    try:
        from zope.app.content_types import guess_content_type
    except ImportError: # BBB: Zope < 2.9
        from OFS.content_types import guess_content_type
