And what about the other tousands of C projects around? They loose
syntax support for their headers files by default.

Really, changing *.h from C to C++ is a no go. You already know how you
can handle that for your own configuration. We won't change that in
Geany. So, I agree fully with Frank and Colomban.


Not sure about *.ipp, never heard of it.
