Recognize *.text files #6

Many people who write in Markdown choose to use the .text file extension. Consider supporting this.

For example, John Gruber himself uses the .text file extension:

Hmm, potentially problematic since it would cause all .text files to be markdownified.

I suspect most Markdown Preview users would prefer to see .text files rendered as Markdown.

I believe the reason many writers choose .text is specifically because you can avoid conflicting file associations with .txt files yet still be recognized by any default configuration of an OS as plaintext. To the writer, .text is handled as Markdown. To the reader, it's handled just like any other plaintext file.

Thanks for your attention.
