[Docutils-develop] Improvements in rst-mode font-lock-mode

[Stefan M. <sm...@oe...>]

Hi!

I did some changes to the font-lock-mode part in ``rst.el``:

* ``#`` recognized as valid symbol for starting an enumerated list
  item

* ``abc-def_`` recognized as valid hyperlink reference

  So far the ``-`` stopped recognition but reStructuredText syntax
  allows it.

* No more "Stack overflow in regexp matcher"

  There were a couple of regular expressions which skipped over the
  end of the line by using inverted character classes. This has been
  fixed everywhere.

I created a patch against a version of ``rst.el`` some days ago. See
attachment. May be someone can add this to the repo.

There is also one clash of changes.

	(set (make-local-variable 'comment-start) ".. ")

was in ``rst-mode`` while Martin(?) moved this definition to another
function defining the key bindings which is not called automatically.
I think it makes sense to consider key bindings as optional for a mode
and thus it makes sense to move them to a separate function. But
comment definition are not optional IMO. I just want to do ``M-#`` as
in every other mode and this needs ``comment-start`` defined. Thus I
didn't apply this particular patch.
