Split to two expressions, I'm assuming that you'd prefer it that way.

I'd argue that using either in a header file's name is a bad idea, if not
illegal. There are no files in or beneath /usr/include that do so.
Still, there are strange people out there.
Fixed.

Strings are one or more chars by definition.
Still, there are those corner cases and gcc does add a NUL (though
technically it should not).
Fixed.

Since I was working from a known good highlighting pattern I figured
rechecking was unnecessary (but my original file does use the commas so
I goofed).
