Thanks for your suggestion and the patch.  In general, I think this is a
good addition while underlinig text in general is not ;-)

I have a minor comment below, though.

What do others think about this change?  I also think this change is
small enough that we don't need to go through FSF paperwork.

In font-latex, we only add keywords provided by vanilla LaTeX.  Keywords
provided by packages go into the corresponding AUCTeX style file, in
this case style/ulem.el and style/soul.el (which has to written).
Hence, this becomes

       (("underline" "{"))

Best, Arash
