so basically you change strings from yellow to white.  i don't think
we should thrash on purely style preferences.

i dislike these both, a lot.  imo we should generally avoid doing
background colors except for when we want to grab the user's attention
by something "bad" or "notable".  cpp directives are not that imo.
just load up something like /usr/include/elf.h to see.

i also don't think they add anything useful -- we already highlight cpp
directives.

i don't see what your new change here does that is useful over
the existing marker we do for FIXME/TODO/XXX.
