Nano context highlighting for gmi file

So, to make it more pleasant to write gmi files in shell, I created a very simple "gemini.nanorc" file for text highlighting gemini files.

I figure I'd just paste the file's contents and instructions here:Just open a new file in nayno (I assume that's what you are using if you are going to use this feature), paste all the text between the two ``` lines below into the file, and save as "gemini.nanorc", either in /usr/local/share/nano (if you are admin), ~/share/nano or whatever is right for your installation.

Then, again, depending on your installation, create or append to your existing /etc/nanorc or ~/.nanorc a line like the following:

include "/etc/nanorc/gemini.nanorc"

Hope it's useful for somebody! Here's the contents:
