Return a data frame of cloc recognized languages and associated extensions

Description

Some file extensions map to multiple languages:

Usage

cloc_recognized_languages()

Details

• .cl files could be Lisp or OpenCL

• .d files could be D or dtrace

• .f or .for files could be Fortran or Forth

• .fs files could be Forth or F#

• .inc files could be PHP or Pascal

• .jl files could be Lisp or Julia

• .m files could be MATLAB, Mathematica, Mercury, MUMPS, or Objective C

• .pl files could be Perl or Prolog

• .pp files could be Pascal or Puppet

• .pro files could be IDL, Prolog, or a Qt Project

• .ts files could be TypeScript or Qt Linguist

• .v files Coq or Verilog/SystemVerilog

cloc has subroutines that attempt to identify the correct language based on the file's contents for these special cases. Language identification accuracy is a function of how much code the file contains; .m files with just one or two lines for example, seldom have enough information to correctly distinguish between MATLAB, Mercury, MUMPS, or Objective C.
