oh wow, would you look at that! so by default since "java_allow_cpp_keywords"
isn't defined it shows me false errors.

hmm i never learned C++. does vim do this for all languages similar to the
currently edited language by default? at my last job i used a lot of C# but it
doesn't highlight disjoint C# keywords. i tried using some Ruby keywords in
Python but those didn't show red errors either. i feel like that can't be the
real reason.
i've read a lot of complaints about this on the web now but i couldn't find a
reason for why this is the default behavior. seems like it should be turned
off. is this a distribution thing? i only had this problem on ubuntu. the
version of vim that comes default on my mac doesn't behave this way by default.
any advice on where i can submit a patch?
