Integer character constants with more than one character are

Thus, it makes sense to color them properly. Because |sizeof (int) ==
4| is typical, I figured |\{1,4}| in the regex was appropriate, though
perhaps simply a |*| would be better?
I think it would be better not to highlight multiple-character constants
"correctly". Unless someone's writing a program to find out how a C
compiler behaves it would always be a mistake, and it's an easy mistake
to make for anyone who routinely writes in multiple languages. It's more
helpful to have the mistake flagged up by unexpected syntax highlighting
than to wait for the compiler - or worse, the program itself - to point
out the problem.
