26;;; Commentary:
27
6209bd8c 28;; A smart editing mode for m4 macro definitions. It seems to have most of the
0e8ab974
RS
29;; syntax right (sexp motion commands work, but function motion commands don't).
30;; It also sets the font-lock syntax stuff for colorization
31
32;; To Do's:
33
34;; * want to make m4-m4-(buffer|region) look sorta like M-x compile look&feel ?
35;; * sexp motion commands don't seem to work right
