To have proper Quick Look support (as well as Spotlight support and likely
any good OS-wide support in the future), you need to first properly declare
your file UTI (see corresponding documentation in Xcode). Additionally, if
your UTI is declared to conform to "public.plain-text", Quick Look and
Spotlight will automatically supports them. Even better, make your UTI
conforms to public.source-code (which already conforms to public.plain-text
).
