Yes actually I already did that on my computer, but I wanted to know
if people could get it by default when they install gedit. After all
reStructuredText is a quite common format.

But well, the reason I ask is also because I am planing to write a
desktop notes/wiki application as a gedit plugin.
I would like to use rst as the markup language, so if I distribute my
application someday then all the people who want to use it will need
to copy the file as well.

An other way would be to be able to load lang files from within a
plugin, I am not sure if this is currently supported.
