Supposedly RMS spruced up the syntax parsing engine. Are we in the
process of synching with it?
We are not (and that's a shame). To me it looks that synching that
code shouldn't be too hard, but comments in our version say otherwise,
at least for some functions. Quoting the comment preceding
Fforward_comment:
/* #### between FSF 19.23 and 19.28 there are some changes to the logic
in this function (and minor changes to find_start_of_comment(),
above, which is part of Fforward_comment() in FSF). Attempts to port
that logic made this function break, so I'm leaving it out. If anyone
ever complains about this function not working properly, take a look
at those changes. --ben */
