Description
There are a lot of niche file formats which contain plain text. Right now I use the trick of adding .txt to all files, then removing it. But it is not convenient. I'd love if there was a config parameter somewhere in QuickLook.config, or maybe QuickLook.Plugin.TextViewer.config where I could add extensions which I want to preview as plain text.
P.S. thanks for a great tool. It is very handy

Research direction
Start by locating QuickLook.config and QuickLook.Plugin.TextViewer.config, then trace how the TextViewer decides whether an extension is plain text. Define the configuration entry for additional extensions and verify that configured niche text files are previewed without renaming them.
