I tend to agree. It'd be fine to highlight them, but it's
not necessary.
The form #'(lambda ...) is not deprecated nor do I expect it to become
deprecated any time soon, but most people like myself prefer to simply
use (lambda ...) instead.
In #'(lambda ..) the `lambda' symbol is definitely not a macro, but is
a kind of special form, yet one that's yet different from progn/if/...
So it's OK to highlight it, but it's also perfectly OK not to.
In my buffers it looks like λ anyway, so it really doesn't matter.
Stefan
PS: If we want to refine highlighting of #' then we could also highlight
#'<symbol> differently depending on whether <symbol> is a function,
a macro/specialform (probably highlighted as some sort of error) or
none of those.
