Description
Description of the problem or steps to reproduce
Unlike nano, micro seems to be missing syntax highlighting for .conf and config files among other file types. If it wasn't for this, I'd move over from nano in a heartbeat. Thanks.

Research direction

Start by locating micro's syntax-highlighting definitions and checking how file extensions are mapped; done means those files receive appropriate highlighting without affecting existing file types.
