Comment (by pulkomandy):
You can improve the sniffing rule to detect more languages :)
Detecting {{{require "}}} near the start of the file should be enough?
In general extensions are considered a legacy thing from DOS/Windows that
we should not still be using in this millenia. Files should be created
with a MIME type, by the text or code editor you use to create them, or by
the tool you use to import them into Haiku (for example WebPositive will
use the MIME type specified in HTTP headers when downloading a file).
The sniffing rules are already a fallback and it seems a bit strange to
need a fallback to the fallback.
