That was me, and I'm glad to see you can do it. I guess I should read
docs more carefully.
The reason is this: if I'm reading a long file I want a jogger to my
brain at the top of the function saying 'OK now switch into language x'
rather than having to scan to the bottom (which might be out of sight,
even) to find out what I'm reading.
I certainly don't want to lose this.
