| Aren't all of these fontification problems because fontification is
| primarily driven by regexps, with a little bit of syntax knowledge?

  Emacs fontification is a colorful way of telling experienced and
  knowledgeable users that regexps are insufficient to solve this kind of

  regexps!"  The novice now has two problems.
