Description
Language
This is the configuration file for sshd found inside ~/.ssh/config on most systems.
Additional resources
I found this issue that seems to have done the same thing for linguist which drives GitHub syntax highlighting - wondering if it can be added in Prism which drives syntax highlighting in my favourite MD editor (Obsidian).
EDIT: Additionally, some regex from https://github.com/Alhadis/language-etc/blob/master/grammars/ssh-config.cson may be reusable - can't be sure because I don't know the language, perhaps someone else can take a look.
Notes
If this syntax highlighting engine already exists (and I simply didn't find it), this request could be changed to be a request for an official alias to ssh-config to get some consistency for the same code uploaded to different platforms with different syntax highlighting engines.

Research direction
Start by checking Prism's existing language definitions to see whether ssh-config support or an alias already exists. Compare the linked Linguist issue and the referenced language-etc grammar, then verify that the requested configuration syntax is highlighted consistently and that any new alias behaves as intended.
