Add priority to major mode loading process #472

Open robmcmullen opened 12 years ago

[Trac time 20080627 174944Z] Kate uses a priority system to rank filetypes in order to determine which highlighter to use. This could be a way to deal with major mode priorities when there are multiple major modes that could apply to the same file. Rather than prompt the user afterwards, this could be set up beforehand.

added code to make sure that subclasses of major modes get examined before their parents, meaning that more specific modes have a chance to match before more general modes
