Hi Jonas,
welcome to the Geany development list. :)

I like your suggestions, but I'm actually not sure if they may already
are implemented in SVN - maybe in a bit different way.

The filetype definition system is under rework at the present. I think
some of the problems you mentioned may already be solved there. It is
developed in a separate branch, but you can follow the development if
you like. Check out

https://geany.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/geany/branches/custom-filetypes

for that.

Regards,
Dominic
