The default.vim colorscheme simply invokes the Vim or gvim defaults, whatever
they may be in the Vim version currently running; it has no ":highlight"
statements: so the patch won't go into the default colorscheme
($VIMRUNTIME/colors/default.vim) which is not even sourced when you run Vim
without a colorscheme, but in the internal default values.

Writing a personal colorscheme is easy: I have my own
~/.vim/colors/almost-default.vim. Changing the highlighting defaults in the C
or C++ code is a different cup of tea.
