Thanks for the patch. I'm testing it now. It works fine with the example
that I initally gave. However, this one does not work:

    template <class T> void barf (T t, const char *file_name) {
      std::ofstream fout (file_name);
      fout << t;
      fout.close ();
    }

Here, "template <class T>" is what confuses the font-lock. In C++, these
angle braces can be nested to an arbitrary depth.
