sourcehighlight is annoyingly slow, but it does support wiki directives
in comments. See here
for an example (tags).

I think that is just a result of it expanding directives, and wikilinks,
everywhere in the file, which is generally a possible problem..

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
example, the Elisp area of the EmacsWiki).  Actually, would there any
other way to create a .pl file without write access to the
repository?  --[[JasonBlevins]]

Well, you can upload them as an attachment if the wiki is configured to
allow it. Having them in the drop down becomes a problem when there are
so many wacky extensions in there that you can't find anything.

I should just note that the
[[sourcecode|todo/automatic_use_of_syntax_plugin_on_source_code_files/discussion]]
plugin only adds the file extensions listed in the config.  This shouldn't cause
massive drop-down menu pollution.  -- [[Will]]
