I don't think this is really what you want.  A language is much more
than just a parser.  It is also the duchain and code completion
specializations, supports code navigation, etc...  A language support
supports more than one MIME type in the sense that a javascript language
support could be loaded for:

text/html files
text/javascript files
text/php files

etc...  In the same sense a text/php file could load a php language
support, html language support, javascript langauge support, etc...
