I would like to add x_filetype (or perhaps vim_filetype) as a supported .editorconfig property for specification of filetype directory-/project-wide? E.g., something like filetype = jsonc for a project which does want to use JSONC for its configuration files instead of the strict ISO JSON?

So, I propose to add x_filetype as a new property to the supported properties of the Vim standard editorconfig support. The value of the property would be string equal to possible value of filetype option.

Just that I am talking about this here instead of at https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig-vim, because I would like the final definition of the option would be defined accross the Vim/Neovim/something-else? divide.

I am not sure I fully understand, but you can already overrule the default filetype detection using :h new-filetype. I don't think this belongs into editorconfig and if it would, then it should be handled within the editorconfig spec
