Description
Description of the problem or steps to reproduce
Setting filetype in settings.json sets it for all files. It would be really useful to just set filetype for new file so that syntax highlight would work before saving the file to disk.

Research direction
Start by tracing how settings.json filetype configuration is applied to buffers, especially newly created unsaved files. The change is done when a configured default filetype affects only new files and provides syntax highlighting before saving, without changing the filetype of existing files.
