Need a way to override filextension registration

[karl-sjogren]

I'm working on some small adjustments to an extension that gives you syntax highlighting for handlebars files. Currently it only supports .hbr files though since the extensions .hbs and .handlebars are registered by the html language.

I've looked at the LanuageManager implementation and it seems that there is no way for an extension to override the file extensions of a previously registered language. Am I missing something here?

My team and I use a modified main.js in Brackets 36 to get around this though I would really like to contribute my fixes for others as well and supporting the correct file extensions for handlebars would be great.

Reviewed low priority (for now) to @peterflynn, who I'm pretty sure has thought about this issue. I'm not sure that this is reported elsewhere.

Yep -- see recent discussion in https://groups.google.com/d/msg/brackets-dev/7wKy5buVYCE/ufT_aj9tpN0J, for example

New APis removeFileExtension() and removeFileName() will be available in Sprint 38 -- closing as fixed.
