Try out the experimental automatic untitled file language detection!

Configure the setting:

• runs regardless of what language mode you're currently in:

"workbench.editor.untitled.experimentalLanguageDetection": true

• runs only on plaintext:

"[plaintext]" { "workbench.editor.untitled.experimentalLanguageDetection": true }

• doesn't run on markdown:

"workbench.editor.untitled.experimentalLanguageDetection": true,
"[markdown]" { "workbench.editor.untitled.experimentalLanguageDetection": false }

Then paste a decent size chunk of code. Here are some ideas:

Notice that the language picker should show (Auto)... click on the language picker and notice that it has detected a language or two.
If you click on a language, notice that (auto) goes away and you are now locked into this language for the entire life of this untitled file.

Things to test:

• perf: paste in a huge file, type in. Everything should still be smooth
• setting works as expected
• language picker is either not confident enough, or it's correct
