Re: font-locking and open parens in column zero

[Richard Stallman <rms@gnu.org>]

    We presume that major modes that introduce conflicting settings for
    `syntax-begin-function' and `font-lock-beginning-of-syntax-function' are
    on their own?

I don't think it is right to set both, but I suppose the latter
should take precedence.

I made a M-/ error before.  Please try this version of the patch.
