I don't think there even is any somewhat universally agreed-on definition for .conf syntax?

HOCON? https://docs.spongepowered.org/stable/en/server/getting-started/configuration/hocon.html

That's a definition, yeah. Not to be confused with

Dotconf https://dotconf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Config4* http://www.config4star.org/index.html
Extremely liberally parsed JSON in a trench coat aka SPA-JSON
Whatever Apache httpd calls this... thing of theirs, anyway it also ends in .conf
Straight up INI with a .conf suffix. Or TOML with a .conf suffix. Or S-Expressions with a .conf suffix. (yes all of these are things that are used in the wild)

Point being that .conf is such a generic suffix that it is meaningless out of context. And even when the format looks vaguely like something standard, it tends to have application-specific quirks more often than not. I'm not saying this is a futile endeavor that should be abandoned, but it needs to be a lot more specific than just the file suffix.

Is it possible to assign a default language for the .conf file type? I personally would just use Plain since there hasn't been a standard created for it.
