Yes, the parsing itself shouldn't be much affected. But it comes to
problems with autocompletion, so parsed symbols in a header file which
is C but was opened as C++, you don't see the symbols of this header
file in C files.
Not the worst thing on earth, just wanted to mention it.

Thanks, that makes me actually happy.
