Well, had a look at C/C++ mode and not even there I could find above
functionality. So I guess it's too awkward to program this otherwise,
I think, very helpful stuff.
The only idea I've so far is for a function which parses now and then
the buffer and adds or removes font lock keywords to the
font-lock-keywords variable according to the current variable
definitions in the buffer.
