User configurations are stored in YAML, however, CheckOptions is a map of 
strings to strings, so we can't use YAML lists to represent lists of extensions.
I personally see nothing wrong with `",.h,.hh,.hpp"` for example, to represent 
the list of extensions (<empty> being the first one makes it somewhat stand out 
and provided there's a good documentation, this shouldn't be too confusing).
