That depends, if someone opens up a cpp file in Quanta, the cpp language
support should of course be loaded.

Well, having a quick look at the code my initial reaction is: We didn't
have enough code-review before this got in. There's quite some suspicious
and simply wrong code in the controller. Well, I guess there goes my WoW
evening, I'll try to bring some order into that tonight.

I don't see a reason right now why it would also load all language plugins,
maybe Cedric wasn't aware that if the lang-plugins want to supply
formatting support they can additionally implement the ISourceFormatter
interface.
