Description
**Describe the issue**
Keywords, such as `static_assert`, `sizeof`, etc. are typically followed by parentheses. `static_assert;` will be highlighted as if it's a keyword, but `static_assert(true);` is highlighted as a built_in.
**Which language seems to have the issue?**
```
```
**Are you using `highlight` or `highlightAuto`?**
`highlight`, I think?
**Sample Code to Reproduce**
In reveal.js, with a freshly-downloaded hljs, add the following:
```
static_assert; // highlighted as keyword
static_assert(true); // highlighted as built_in
```
**Expected behavior**
Keywords continue to use their keyword colour when followed by parens.
