sourceview: reload snippets when the buffer language changes (939 bytes, patch)

Description Sri Ramkrishna 2017-04-25 06:23:34 UTC 
If you create a new file, you can't use any snippets until you save the file and Builder is able to detect what kind of source file it is.  Not sure if this is the expected behavior.

It is worth noting that even selecting a specific language for syntax highlighting is not enough.

Good to know that is the root of the issue.

Also, adding a shebang should be enough to guess the language. Something like:

 #!/usr/bin/env python3
