\< and \w are keywords of the language of regular expressions.
Like keywords of other programming languages highlighted in Emacs
it makes sense to highlight keywords of regular expressions as well.

Highlighting of \< and \w should by no means be the default.
Anyone willing to implement highlighting of all regexp constructs
could add it as an option for those users who like fruit salad
(I'm not speaking for myself, I like moderate highlighting).
