Hey all, I was having some fun earlier today, going through some .conf files in Vim and i noticed that conf file that are bind-style (conf filetype in vim) that use C-style comments like: /* comment */ are not recognized as the conf filetype (or any other filetype for that matter) and even when i force the conf filetype on by adding "# comment" to the first line of the file, the C-style comments don't get any syntax hilighting.
The filetype detection seems to be around line 2405 (or possibly 2445) in the filetype.vim runtime file, it seems to be looking for a # on any one of the first 5 lines of the file. Perhaps some additional detection for C-style comments as well there? Also somewhere in probably the filetype plugin or possibly the filetype syntax file, it'd be nice if support for C-style comments in config files was there too.
