Seems simple enough, right? The problem is: There's no syntax highlighting in

If I instead use separate files, I get syntax highlighting and auto-completion
for each file, because editors set language based on file type. But should I
really have to choose?
In other situations where files need to be collected together, a
data-archive may be used (not to be confused with any historical
context, nor indeed with data-compression).
Might a wrapper around such of PSL's services help to both keep
everything together, and yet enable separate editing format-recognition?
