Syntax highlighting for Cake build scripts (tag cakebuild)

Question

Syntax highlighting for Cake build scripts isn't available for questions tagged with just cakebuild today.

The cakebuild should default to lang-cs just as c#, as it's 9 times of 10 C# build scripts that the code samples in answers and questions contains.

Example of tag used on Stack Overflow

If it's C#, it should just be tagged with [c#], and that will take care of the syntax highlighting problem. — Cody Gray

Of course it will, it'll also clutter C# tag which has led to moderators denying edits which add that tag just for syntax highlighting. Also many people just add the cakebuild tag which leads less readable questions. If you see another task runner like Gulp they've added lang-js to that. stackoverflow.com/tags/gulp/info — devlead

@CodyGray I don't think there is any harm in adding the language hint as there is none at the moment and for you it is a 10 second task. Typing this comment was more effort. — rene

Sure, it's not a matter of difficulty, @rene, it's a matter of risking breakage when we start adding syntax highlighting hints to tags. I guess I can try it... — Cody Gray

Done. The cakebuild tag now has lang-cs set as its default syntax highlighting.

Let me know if that introduces any undesirable breakage.
