Description
Description of the problem or steps to reproduce
I use micro over vim because of the C error highlighting, but when I code in GTK, it does not recognize the header file like POSIX or curl. To reproduce, Try to open a GTK C file (I would recommend GTK's examples here) and saving, and it will say "No such file or directory" on the GTK header file. Because it can't recognize GTK, it voids all other errors.

Research direction
Reproduce the problem by opening and saving one of GTK's C examples linked in the issue on Arch Linux. Start by tracing micro's C error-highlighting and header lookup behavior, comparing GTK with the existing POSIX and curl handling. Done means GTK headers no longer produce a missing-file error while other compiler errors remain visible.
