Details:

highlighting c++ keywords like "class", "new", etc. in plain c files is
outright wrong and consequently annoying.

the only problem are .h files, as their language is not obvious from the
extension. i think the presence of class definitions is a sufficient
criterion for c++, but recognizing them reliably requires a minimal parser -
even regexps won't do ...

ps: don't tell me i shouldn't be using c++ keywords in c headers, because the
header might be included in c++ files later - this is _my_ business.
