I'm not completely happy with this but if we can limit this check to
the first or the first both lines it might be worth. But I think we
shouldn't do much more to guess a C++ file. Especially for the C++
includes without file extensions, it's simply hard to detect them and
users should understand that there are limits (remember, the more we
guess, the slower gets the whole file opening process).

Wow, is it really necessary to be able to compile header files? I don't
see the advantage as you get the same compiler errors and warning in
header files when compiling one of the source files which include them.

Thanks for the pointer, this is indeed wrong as well as 'new' and
'delete' which also are C++ only keywords. I'll remove those later.
