Add support for Cabal configuration files #4419

people are quite free to have different project files, and the names are definitely not consistent. e.g. I have used https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/blob/master/cabal.ghcjs.project (note the dot, not a dash). If |
Unfortunately, it doesn't. 😞 We're currently limited to matching complete filenames only (and only as fixed strings; e.g., no regex-aware matching). This is a known limitation of Linguist, I'm afraid.
Be that as it may, it's still worth keeping an eye on if over 40 users have used this particular filename to date. 👍 |

I'm tagging this PR as Pending Popularity to remember to add it to #4219. |
This PR adds support for Cabal config files, which are used to store metadata about Haskell projects (à la
package.json
in a JavaScript project).Description
Lack of support for Cabal was brought to my attention by @phadej in
haskell-CI/haskell-ci#223
, when I was correcting the language of some misclassified files:Syntax highlighting is already provided by our existing Haskell grammar.
