Description

How can I enable several languages for a given file extension please?

For example

"emmet.includeLanguages": {
        "tt": ["html", "css", "javascript"],
    }

Except this doesn't work. I tried with multiple references to the key

"emmet.includeLanguages": {
        "tt": "html",
        "tt": "css",
        "tt": "javascript",
    }

and also with an embedded object

"emmet.includeLanguages": {
        "tt": {
        "html":"html",
        "css": "css",
        "javascript": "javascript",
    }

no joy :-(

"emmet.includeLanguages": {
        "erb": "html"
    }

Research direction
The issue requests extending the emmet.includeLanguages configuration to accept an array of language identifiers for a single file extension. Currently only a single string is supported. The implementation would likely involve modifying the emmet extension's configuration schema and the logic that processes the mapping. Relevant files could be in the emmet extension directory of VS Code, such as src/extension.ts or the package.json where the configuration is defined. Discussion in comments may provide additional context.
