Sorry, that's kind of bogus. That is no workaround, that disables
*all* curly highlighting errors. And then this:

  if (curlies_wrong) {}}}}

won't show as an error. That is as much a workaround as "syntax off"
or, exagerating a bit, "start using emacs" or "do not use gcc
extensions". What you guys need to do is fix the syntax to
understand gcc extensions.
