So use .hpp for C++ header files ;-)

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.
