From my reading of the issue it seems that he's complaining about a limitation of the tool Linguist. There's a suggested fix that doesn't, as far as I can tell, involve changing how Inferno code is written. My understanding is that primary_extension is simply used to short circuit analysis when it's unique to a language. In this case if the primary extension was .inferno and .m was in other extensions it seems that the sample code would be used by the classifier to distinguish between inferno, MATLAB, and obj-c. To me this comes off as assuming the worst intentions on behalf of the github developers. |

No, the primary_extension is only used in a gists_helper.rb file outside the Linguist repos. Note that the feature is deprecated anyway.
