Not currently.

Almost but not quite. I did that change a while ago in response to
another request to support Qt code. Works fairly well, I think. ;)

I'm currently working on the font locking bit. It's a bit more
difficult since better caching is needed to refontify the following
declaration interactively.

The built-in access keywords are fontified like keywords since that's
what they are. Do you want those extra identifiers to be fontified as
keywords too? I don't think that'd fit very well. My intention is to
fontify them with the same face that is used for labels inside code
blocks.
