[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Minor: Objective-C files (*.m) parsed as Matlab/Octave (*.m) (#1896)

Correct.

> To solve this, you'd have to check the code in the file, which I imagine would be a pain.

So do C/C++ files.

> I'm not sure which is more popular. If Matlab/Octave is more popular, then maybe it should be ahead of Objective-C files.

The `filetype_extensions.conf` is in alphabetical order by filetype name, so `M`atlab wins over `O`bjective-C.  Geany devs don't know which is most popular with an individual user, so its alphabetical, bat as you note above you can change it to your preference.
