COMMENT-LIST is a list, whose entries are either a single character,
a one or two character string or a cons pair. If the entry is a character
or a one-character string, it is added to the mode's syntax table with
-comment-start syntax. If the entry is a cons pair, the elements of the
-pair are considered to be comment-start and comment-end respectively.
+`comment-start' syntax. If the entry is a cons pair, the elements of the
+pair are considered to be `comment-start' and `comment-end' respectively.
Note that Emacs has limitations regarding comment characters.
KEYWORD-LIST is a list of keywords to highlight with `font-lock-keyword-face'.
FONT-LOCK-LIST is a list of additional expressions to highlight. Each entry
in the list should have the same form as an entry in `font-lock-defaults-alist'
-AUTO-MODE-LIST is a list of regular expressions to add to auto-mode-alist.

+AUTO-MODE-LIST is a list of regular expressions to add to `auto-mode-alist'.
+These regexps are added to `auto-mode-alist' as soon as `define-generic-mode'
is called; any old regexps with the same name are removed.
FUNCTION-LIST is a list of functions to call to do some additional setup.
