Re: Implement additional Hints for existing Language

Yes, this is what I (of course) did first, I also had a deeper look into 
the Netbeans sources but there was no implementation covering my 
requirement (extend an existing language). It looks easy to implement a 
new one, but if you need to use an already registered mimeType it gets 
fuzzy :(
