• File Type Recognition: Automatically recognizes .mx files as Moxie

Moxie Language Features Supported

• Go keywords and syntax (minus go and fallthrough, which are compile errors in Moxie)
• Moxie-specific builtin: spawn() — creates isolated domains over IPC
• string and []byte are the same type
• Slice, channel, and map literal syntax: []T{:n}, chan T{}, map[K]V{}
• Removed from Go (not highlighted as keywords/builtins, so misuse stands out):

- go, fallthrough - new, complex, real, imag - complex64, complex128, uintptr
