Should not the second regexp in
(font-lock-add-keywords 'c-mode
'(("\\<\\(FIXME\\):" 1 font-lock-warning-face prepend)
("\\<\\(and\\|or\\|not\\)\\>" . font-lock-keyword-face)))
use a shy subgroup like in
(font-lock-add-keywords 'c-mode
'(("\\<\\(FIXME\\):" 1 font-lock-warning-face prepend)
("\\<\\(?:and\\|or\\|not\\)\\>" . font-lock-keyword-face)))
Same problem with the second example.

It could. But the use of a normal group is harmless.

I thought it was slower?

No, it's not. Maybe you're thinking about greedy matching? Anyway, I'm
going to close this bug.

No, I was not. I just thought finding the extra match data was a bit slower.
Thanks for telling.

Well, it is marginally slower, but you'd be hard pressed to measure
the difference.
