c++ font-lock bug

[Jared Finder]

c++-mode does not correctly fontify variable declarations in for loops (or if's) the following code:

int main( void ) {
    for( uint8 i = 0; i != 100; ++i ) {
        for( uint8* j = &i; j != &i + 1; ++j ) {
//           ^^^^^^^^
//           This should be fontified as a variable declaration!

            printf( "BLAH!!!\n" );
        }
    }
}

In theory, without knowledge if uint8 is a type or a variable, you can not correctly fontify the
previous code.  But any code that overloads operator* and operator= such that the previous code
makes sense as a statement deserves much worse pain than minor incorrect fontification.  ;)
