Description
I use c++ for denoting C++ in code blocks found throughout my project's commit messages, which I then use to generate release notes on our website. My IDE and GitHub support using c++ for a language code in code blocks, but prism only supports cpp. For compatibility it'd be nice if prism allowed c++ as well.
