parsing emacs-lisp: opening paren at line-beg in doc string

[David Reitter]

Parsing seems broken for emacs-lisp-mode.

Load the attached file, turn on font-locking and paren matching.

1. sometimes, the syntax highlighting is broken. from line 13 on,  
everything is in one color except some parens and a `name'. i can't  
reproduce that all the time.

2. select the defun, then do M-x indent-region. lines 40 - 63 don't  
get indented.

3. sometimes, ';' or ';  ;' are added at the end of some lines  
containing comments. (can't reproduce right now.)


What I have found out so far is that it has to do with an opening  
paren in the defun-documentation at the beginning of a line. If you  
insert a space at the beginning of line 3, formatting works just  
fine. Problems 1 and 3 rectify themselves as well.
