  Yes. I meant, once we have something outside of kdevelop accepted=recognized as MIME type id, we then know what to use ourselves as well.
  So let's first please do some effort to have a MIME type id agreed on by others (ideally this would be something done in the Objective-C++ community where you might have your contacts to poke), then we can rely on the result here (in our intermediate s-m-i data installed).

  The main feature of s-m-i is to have some database with MIME type definitions everyone uses, so things are compatible, especially when it comes to the MIME type name/id.
  And yes, it would be great to have more magic inside the database, but if no-one works on that, it's often only extension mapping.
  Still s-m-i is better than nothing and better than lots of incompatible-id bubbles.

  At least the source-formatter is failing on C++ headers named .h and treating them as C, as it relies on info from QMime* which uses only shared-mime-info db (where there is no proper magic around to tell if it's not rather C++).
