KMimeTypeTrader adds "filtering on a mimetype" (including derived mimetypes), compared to what KServiceTypeTrader/KPluginMetaData do.

About where to document, I see two options:
1) https://community.kde.org/Frameworks/Porting_Notes
2) in the api docs for KPluginMetaData.

I guess both are needed. The first one written more like "how to port", while the second one should have sample code for "how to use" - even when not coming from KServiceTypeTrader.
