Allow to use phpstan.dist.neon instead of phpstan.neon.dist for IDE-friendly

[Luc45]

Feature request

With the current file naming convention, the extension of the file phpstan.neon.dist is .dist, which causes IDEs such as PHPStorm to not recognize it as a .neon file, even with the Neon plugin installed.

If, however, the file was phpstan.dist.neon, the extension would be .neon and IDEs would pick it up as a Neon file.

This feature request is to allow support for a file named phpstan.dist.neon for distributed phpstan configurations.

Thanks

Hi, this is just a convention following PHPUnit's phpunit.xml + phpunit.xml.dist. Feel free to name your files whatever you want, you just have to pass it as -c CLI option manually :) If you involve Composer scripts, or make, or Phing for example, you don't have to type the whole command all the time, but only for example make phpstan...

Hi @ondrejmirtes ,

That's exactly what I do: I have a make phpstan command that overrides -c phpstan.dist.neon

However, I loose the cascading override to phpstan.neon for the local environment - and that's the downside of this approach

Hi, if you persuade PHPUnit's maintainers about this then I'm sold on this too but I don't want to make this change alone.
