heh, but so is restructured text, markdown, github flavored markdown,
python code, etc.

Basically for emacs I can program it to start up asciidoc-mode when a
file has a .adoc extension.

Of course, there are other ways to detect the mode of a file, such as
scanning the first few lines. But the first few lines of an asciidoc
file are not going to look very distinct from other plain-text markup
systems.

which is what the .txt extension is for and all text
