Thanks! I didn't know about that. I can't find any mention of raw
strings in C in the GCC manual for version 10.3.0.

That's the basic idea, yes, with another function to be added to
c-before-font-lock-functions. But there are several detailed changes
necessary, too.

I am now. What's bothering me at the moment is that this is going to
make C Mode slower. I suppose I could add an option into C Mode so that
raw strings can be enabled only when they're needed, but this would be
quite awkward, and a new departure for CC Mode.
