Common Lisp font lock

Common Lisp font lock

[Robert Brown]

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

In GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i386-redhat-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:


Font lock for Lisp does not handle some Common Lisp forms.  For instance,
multiple-value-bind is not colorized, even though it is a binding form like
let or destructuring-bind, which are colorized.

Please let me know if this has not been fixed in a more recent version of
Emacs.  If it has not been fixed, I'm happy to skim through the Common Lisp
ANSI spec, gather an improved list of tokens to colorize, and submit a patch
to font-lock.el.
