[ Now that I've actually looked at his code: ] Actually, yes he does because the font-lock-multiline variable is only applied to font-lock-keywords, whereas his multiline needs come from font-lock-syntactic-keywords, and also because he doesn't actually use font-lock-syntactic-keywords, he just puts there a single MATCHER which does the work by hand.
