Maybe a better solution would be the following: All symbols *currently* highlighted in c.vim (and maybe some other common ones) should be moved to "clibs/default.vim", and keywords from this file should be included by default. Thus Vim users should see no change when they use the supplied syntax files. And users who want more keywords to be highlighted can control this from their vimrc.
Reasonable.
I personally find highlighting all keywords and constants from glibc and Xlib very useful. And browsing through the source files I usually edit, (and the Vim source) I found library calls very sparse, and the highlighting supplied helpful. However I don't think my personal taste should be forced on others, and hence I proposed the above modular structure.
Yes, this is appreciated, because I personally think that having too much highlighting goes against the purpose of highlighting - hey, the default highlighting is to highlight everything in the same color (black) and it works a lot better than having everything highlighted as green, red, blue, orange, yellow, black, magenta, .... I'm not the right person to say anything here, because my syntax definitions tend to highlight basically everything, but I've gone more and more to defining syntaxes where people can highlight anything they want, but keep the default set of highlights sparse. nikolai
