Thanks very much for this timely response. I've gone for a simple

au BufReadPost * set iskeyword-=:

in my vimrc so that I can keep my installation pristine (and it will also share around my machines given that I distribute this sort of thing with git). Also if C++ or other languages make the same mistake, I'll be protected.

To ZyX: Thanks for the tips on the syntax files; I'll keep that in mind for if I experience any colorising sillyness. At this point I haven't noticed anything that gives trouble; it's mostly the muscle memory in the fingers that was getting messed up...

Peace has descended on the keyboard again. It's one of my great shames that, after <mumble> years using vi and vim, I still don't know how to script it ;-/

Cheers
