Thanks for the info. Whole thing looks beyond me, plus I'm new to 
GH so not sure what's polite, but I'll try to remember pinging 
after a while whenever no one does.

In the meantime my file is finally ok, after I added an override 
in the .gitattributes file,* it looks like there was a time delay 
from the language being re-classified by the GitHub Linguist 
until it was processed anew by the appropriate highlight parser. 
Even though the majority language stat for the repository had 
updated instantly.


* Fyi these are the lines I added to my .gitattributes file:

*.d  linguist-language=D
*.di linguist-language=D
