const minimumBytes = 4100; // A fair amount of file-types are detectable within this range

It would be great to export minimumBytes in order to make it available to caller code.

eg.

res = await fetch(url, { headers: {
	'Range': `bytes=0-${ FileType.minimumBytes }`,
} });

await FileType.fromStream(res.body);

It was exposed previously but then removed as we now support file types that might be larger. This constant is just an implementation detail for optimization.

@FranckFreiburger, check the FileType.fromTokenizer(tokenizer) example which aiming to read as little as possible using range requests. Depending on the file the required range is determined.
