Hi,
The source formatter plugin loads all language support plugins to be able to 
group mime-types by language. I did this because I didn't want to have a 
different config for eg .h, .c and .cpp without hardcoding this. The plugin just 
use some metadata from the desktop file. If there's a way to load this 
information without loading the plugin, then it has to replace the current 
code.
