Yes, it could be better, though in this case emacs would rely on
external tools doing the actual parsing, because I don't think the
syntax parsing of every language should be reimplemented in elisp.
That's not a big deal, since if I need to work with c files then
usually have the c compiler installed.
The only thing needed is a compiler for the given language which
outputs syntax information for the source file. I don't know if GCC can
do that.
