" Scenarios considered:
"   opening or starting vim with a new or existing file without an extension (should interpret as C++)
"   opening or starting vim with a new or existing file with a .mu extension
"   starting vim or opening a buffer without a file name (ok to do nothing)
"   opening a second file in a new or existing window (shouldn't mess up existing highlighting)
"   reloading an existing file (shouldn't mess up existing highlighting)
