;;; Commentary:
;; Font Lock mode is a minor mode that causes your comments to be displayed in
;; one face, strings in another, reserved words in another, and so on.
;;
;; Comments will be displayed in `font-lock-comment-face'.
;; Strings will be displayed in `font-lock-string-face'.
;; Regexps are used to display selected patterns in other faces.
;;
;; To make the text you type be fontified, use M-x font-lock-mode.
;; When this minor mode is on, the faces of the current line are
;; updated with every insertion or deletion.
;;
;; To turn Font Lock mode on automatically, add this to your .emacs file:
;;
;; (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
;;
;; On a Sparc2, `font-lock-fontify-buffer' takes about 10 seconds for a 120k
;; file of C code using the default configuration, and about 25 seconds using
;; the more extensive configuration, though times also depend on file contents.
;; You can speed this up substantially by removing some of the patterns that
;; are highlighted by default. Fontifying Lisp code is significantly faster,
;; because Lisp has a more regular syntax than C, so the expressions don't have
;; to be as hairy.
;;
;; If you add patterns for a new mode, say foo.el's `foo-mode', say in which
;; you don't want syntactic fontification to occur, you can make Font Lock mode
;; use your regexps when turning on Font Lock by adding to `foo-mode-hook':
;;
;; (add-hook 'foo-mode-hook
;; '(lambda () (make-local-variable 'font-lock-defaults)
;; (setq font-lock-defaults '(foo-font-lock-keywords t))))
;;
;; Nasty regexps of the form "bar\\(\\|lo\\)\\|f\\(oo\\|u\\(\\|bar\\)\\)\\|lo"
;; are made thusly: (make-regexp '("foo" "fu" "fubar" "bar" "barlo" "lo")) for
;; efficiency. See /pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive/functions/make-regexp.el.Z on
;; archive.cis.ohio-state.edu for this and other functions.

MATCHER
(MATCHER . MATCH)

(MATCHER . HIGHLIGHT)
(MATCHER HIGHLIGHT ...)
where HIGHLIGHT should be of the form (MATCH FACENAME OVERRIDE LAXMATCH).
MATCHER can be either the regexp to search for, or the function name to call to
make the search (called with one argument, the limit of the search). MATCH is
the subexpression of MATCHER to be highlighted. FACENAME is an expression
whose value is the face name to use. FACENAME's default attributes may be
defined in `font-lock-face-attributes'.
OVERRIDE and LAXMATCH are flags. If OVERRIDE is t, existing fontification may
be overriden. If `keep', only parts not already fontified are highlighted.
If LAXMATCH is non-nil, no error is signalled if there is no MATCH in MATCHER.
These regular expressions should not match text which spans lines. While
\\[font-lock-fontify-buffer] handles multi-line patterns correctly, updating
when you edit the buffer does not, since it considers text one line at a time.
Be careful composing regexps for this list;
the wrong pattern can dramatically slow things down!")

- Comments are displayed in `font-lock-comment-face';
- Strings are displayed in `font-lock-string-face';
- Certain other expressions are displayed in other faces according to the
value of the variable `font-lock-keywords'.
You can enable Font Lock mode in any major mode automatically by turning on in
the major mode's hook. For example, put in your ~/.emacs:
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
Or for any visited file with the following in your ~/.emacs:
(add-hook 'find-file-hooks 'turn-on-font-lock)
The default Font Lock mode faces and their attributes are defined in the
variable `font-lock-face-attributes', and Font Lock mode default settings in
the variable `font-lock-defaults-alist'.
Where modes support different levels of fontification, you can use the variable
`font-lock-maximum-decoration' to specify which level you generally prefer.
When you turn Font Lock mode on/off the buffer is fontified/defontified, though
