Speaking about .gitignore. What is this?

    # MightyMoose
    *.mm.*
I could only find this: https://github.com/MonzUn/MightyMooseCore

Link to the file: https://github.com/microsoft/BASIC-M6502/blob/main/.gitignor...

Regardless, thank you Mr. Hanselman. This is great!

I think it's that.

I don't think that the .gitignore file is meant to reflect anything about when this BASIC interpreter was written, it looks like it's just a MS managed .gitignore that accounts for everything that was ever popular for development in Visual Studio, even things that have been obsolete for decades. In order to handle your most legacy C#, F#, VB.NET, or Visual C++ solutions.
