cmGlobalGenerator::GetLanguageFromExtension is where the lookup is
done.  cmGlobalGenerator::FillExtensionToLanguageMap is where the map
is constructed in the first place.  Either the former needs to learn
a hard-coded special case for the lookup, or the latter needs to learn
how to update the CXX mapping based on OBJC and OBJCXX.  The latter
is probably cleaner but needs to be done carefully to support filling
the maps in any order.

The stage is meant for integration and testing and can be used for
short-term review, but it should not be allowed to collect dust.
Some developers keep their own forks on Github or similar sites
and publish the topics there for review instead.
