Imagemagick handles a lot of file formats, and sometimes you want
another library to have higher priority. Thats what
imagemagick-enabled-types and imagemagick-types-inhibit is for.

The code above wont work because (image-type-available-p 'imagemagick),
'imagemagick is not an image type, its a feature that provides image
types.
