- Yes, defun usually starts a line, but it's not required to be at
- the beginning. The problem is with the whole package (or at least
- with comments), not defun, or defvar or whatever. The regexp for
- comments says that it should match all the way to the end of the line,
- but that's not happening (or if it is, the line is also matching
- for defun or whatever).
-
- In general, the hilighting should stop when it finds a match, but that's
- not happening.
