Description

In version < 4.25 I could select language by name. I no longer can do that as langs has changed to file extensions.

Before:

import {langs} from "@uiw/codemirror-extensions-langs";
python = langs.python()

Now

import {langs} from "@uiw/codemirror-extensions-langs";
python = langs.py()

It would be nice if that functionality can be brought back. You can export langs and exts to let developers use whatever fits their need best.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the @uiw/codemirror-extensions-langs package exports and the current langs and exts definitions. Confirm how language-name and file-extension helpers are currently exposed. Done means developers can use both langs.python() and langs.py(), with the documented exports remaining usable.
