Hi Emacs-hackers,
the regexp responsible for recognizing lambda list keywords looks
currently like this:
;; ELisp and CLisp `&' keywords as types.
("\\&\\sw+\\>" . font-lock-type-face)
(part of LISP-FONT-LOCK-KEYWORDS-2 in `font-lock.el')
I'd like to propose changing the regexp to "\\<\\&\sw+\\>" such that
symbols like, for instance, the symbol `FROB-&KEY-PARAMETERS' that
surely names a function, don't get fontified just right after the
ampersand in FONT-LOCK-TYPE-FACE.

Either way, why does the ampersand need to be escaped with a backslash?
