I probably misunderstand what you're trying to do with the stuff that
begins with \\(d\\(?:ef, but I imagine you'll be able to correct what
I've got.

(let ((p (rx "set"
             (one-or-more space) "'" (group (one-or-more (or alnum (any "*-_."))))
             (one-or-more space) (or "def" "does" "func" "function" "has" "lfinc" "sub")))
      (input "set 'printf function"))

  (string-match p input)
  (match-string 1 input))

thinking.  There is an almost universal quest for easy answers
and half-baked solutions.  Nothing pains some people more
than having to think.
