In fact, I seem to remember that a *lot* of font-lock and lazy-lock and related fontification issues have been caused by the fact that in general, their opinion of the syntax is based on a much narrower view than the compiler's (for instance, it will pass something as legal because it *looks* legal based on what's within 100 lines either side of 'point' - but in fact it's broken because of a ' instead of a ", or a missing semicolon 2,394 lines back ;) /Valdis (who wishes I didn't get an 'unmatched parenthesis' and a bright-red overlay from 'point' back to a '{' in my X-Face header when I type a ;) (And yes, I know it's probably customizable, I just haven't dug into how to do it the way I want it...)
