Basically what's in the title.

Is there a particular reason for this keyword not to be highlighted?

It is not a keyword, it is a macro.

My bad, sorry.

In any case, I think it should be highlighted. Every other IDE/Text editor does it. It's quite useful to have stand out.

if NULL is used for a pointer, you can replace it by nullptr, which is highligthed.

You can always add it to your list of keywords in the syntax highlight settings for c/c++ lexer in the Editor settings.
