APPROVE COMMIT NOTE: This patch has been committed. Ar an t-ochtú lá de mí Lúnasa, scríobh Jerry James: Okay, this moves the syntax to punctuation, which is what David et al. do, and which is much more sane for German, for mixed-language text and for font lock than is string syntax. src/ChangeLog addition: 2006-08-23 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea(a)parhasard.net&gt; * syntax.c (complex_vars_of_syntax): Guillemets are now punctuation, not parentheses. AucTeX does this, and it's infinitely less annoying if you're dealing with German text or mixed German and French.
