[feature] Handle files in unknown languages

[ianlewis]

Handle text files in unknown languages using a generic configuration. This may be able to support files in languages that aren't explicitly known.

For example:

• Line comments start with # or //

I was going to create a separate issue requesting GraphQL support, but this covers that.

It might be good to have GraphQL specific support so that it could support documentation comments.

BTW, do folks often keep GraphQL in files checked into a repo?

[anatoly-scherbakov]

@ianlewis yes, at least two use cases from the top of my head:

1. GraphQL schema files can be stored in a repo if the GraphQL framework in use is schema-first (like Ariadne for Python);
2. Tests covering a GraphQL API have GraphQL files with test requests chilling around them.

If GraphQL code is in a file contrary to being embedded, as an opaque string, into source code, — an IDE (having PyCharm in mind here) offers navigation and schema validation facilities for said code.
