Hi guys,
I've noticed something odd about the font-locking in Emacs Lisp and Lisp
mode - keyword args are highlighted using the font-lock-builtin-face and
constructs like &optional are highlighted using font-lock-type-face.
I guess this was was done way back and hasn't been updated in a while, but
I think it might a good idea to revise this. Pretty sure those font faces
are intended for different usage. I think it would be great if all Emacs
programming modes used the faces consistently, so that the meaning of
certain faces doesn't change from mode to mode.
I guess that the two modes might also start using the font-lock-built-in
face to highlight their core functions (like car, cdr, mapcar, mapc, etc) -
as Clojure mode does.

Typically, if you get no answer here, nobody disagrees, and nobody wants
to care about it at the moment. Please make a bug report. Please give
some details what exactly should be changed, e.g. which faces should be
used instead of the ones you don't want to use. Then, I hope someone
will have a look sooner or later.
Regards,
Michael.
