Hi Bozhidar

Today I have been working with less (lesscss.org) files and I was missing major mode for it (less-css-mode) and had to install it by hand.

What do you think about adding a feature which would detect files without a major mode and would propose user to install appropriate mode for it? We'd have to maintain a list of (extension -> package name) mapping, but it seems a bit better than putting ALL possible packages into prelude-packages list.

Best,
Gleb
