bug#13767: 24.3.50; regression in highlighting of emacs-lisp-mode

[Drew Adams]

emacs -Q
 
(add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
 
M-x find-library register RET
 
Bug #13751 mentions that there is no highlighting (a regression).
 
M-x font-lock-mode RET
 
Now there is highlighting.  But search for this:
 
(defun point-to-register (register &optional arg)
 
The &optional is unhighlighted.  `C-u C-x =' confirms that there is no
face on &optional.

Same here.

If I had to guess, it's probably due to Alan Mackenzie's changes in easy-mmode.
