Specific preferences for .sublime-settings files

#1

When you use the Settings - Syntax Specific menu item on an opened file say e.g. a Plain Text file, you can edit the Plain text.sublime-settings preferences file.
If you use the Settings - Syntax Specific on a .sublime-settings file you edit a JSON.sublime-settings file.

I am not totally agree with this. It is true that .sublime-settings files are in “JSON like” format, however they are not true JSON (comments are permitted, for one thing).
In my opinion, the specific preferences file for .sublime-settings files should be something like:

Sublime Settings.sublime-settings

(or without space, or with dash … it’s not relevant). Not JSON.sublime-settings.

It may seems a bit recursive but it has sense for me.

I didn’t know about that issue :blush:
I started to use ST3 just 2 weeks ago.

P.S. however my topic is more specific to sublime settings files. And note that I am NOT against comments in .sublime-settings files. Actually comments in the Default Preferences.sublime-settings are very useful for me.
