Description Paolo Borelli 2003-06-20 16:40:01 UTC 
if I have


#if 0
	foo
#else
	bar
#endif


foo is blue (color meaning commented out) and bar is black as expected; but
if I have


#if 1
	foo
#else
	bar
#endif


both foo and bar are black, while I would expect bar to be blue since in
this case it is commented out.

Current highlighting algorithm is quite limited and cannot handle the
case you have described.

Changing severity to enh.

It goes out of the scope of regex. We would need at least context-free grammars to understand #if 1 // #else situation.
