+I think having the option to choose source code page types from the
+dropdown list is definitely a feature. This gives users an easy way
+to contribute programs (say `.pl` files) or code snippets (like, for

+other way to create a `.pl` file without write access to the
+repository? --[[JasonBlevins]]
