... just that you can't do that ATM without a hard coded filetype.  Which is 
why I asked the question, not knowing that the parser was a freebie thrown in 
by @techee, not added by the filetype creator.

I don't know TS, but if you say its C ... [ducks]

C for example???? [ducks]

Of course the "small" issue of making `highlightingmappings.h` be read from 
filetype files is a minor issue in the path to fully loadable filetypes, lexers 
and parsers. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: 

But in general totally agree that moving towards names and dynamic 
configuration is better.
