Subject: (describe_syntax): Recognize the `n'estable bit.
X-Git-Tag: emacs-pretest-21.0.90~3167
X-Git-Url: http://git.eshelyaron.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e6365855ebf0afae2ced986eb705aa515b62fa2a;p=emacs.git

(describe_syntax): Recognize the `n'estable bit.
(Fforward_comment, scan_lists):
Check the comstyle of single-char comment-starters.
(scan_sexps_forward): Don't try to recognize `half comment-enders' if
we're just at the beginning of the comment (f.ex with (*) ... (*)).
