Description
Apparently some .pro files are detected as Prolog, while others are given the IDL label.
The latter is related with the IDL/GDL/PV-WAVE language family.
In the GDL project, all .pro files are IDL source code, while they fall in both categories according to github:
- https://github.com/gnudatalanguage/gdl/search?l=prolog
- https://github.com/gnudatalanguage/gdl/search?l=IDL
Would be great to improve consistency (i.e., so that all are detected as IDL).
