bug#7712: lisp/textmodes/conf-mode.el - Unused macro expansion in conf-font-lock-keywords

[Jari Aalto]

Package: emacs
Version: 23.2+1-5.1
Severity: minor

lisp/textmodes/conf-mode.el uses macro expansion backtick (`) in here:

    (defvar conf-font-lock-keywords
=>    `(;; [section] (do this first because it may look like a parameter)
        ("^[ \t]*\\[\\(.+\\)\\]" 1 'font-lock-type-face)
        ;; var=val or var[index]=val
        ("^[ \t]*\\(.+?\\)\\(?:\\[\\(.*?\\)\\]\\)?[ \t]*="
         (1 'font-lock-variable-name-face)
         (2 'font-lock-constant-face nil t))
        ;; section { ... } (do this last because some assign ...{...)
        ("^[ \t]*\\([^=:\n]+?\\)[ \t\n]*{[^{}]*?$" 1 'font-lock-type-face 
prepend))
      "Keywords to hilight in Conf mode.")

Everywhere else it uses single quote:

    (defvar conf-javaprop-font-lock-keywords
=>    '(;; var=val
        ("^[ 
\t]*\\(.+?\\)\\(?:\\.\\([0-9]+\\)\\(?:\\.\\(.+?\\)\\(?:\\.\\([0-9]+\\)\\(?:\\.\\(.+?\\)\\(?:\\.\\([0-9]+\\)\\(\\..+?\\)?\\)?\\)?\\)?\\)?\\)?\\([:=
 \t]\\|$\\)"
         (1 'font-lock-variable-name-face)
         (2 'font-lock-constant-face nil t)
         (3 'font-lock-variable-name-face nil t)
         (4 'font-lock-constant-face nil t)
         (5 'font-lock-variable-name-face nil t)
         (6 'font-lock-constant-face nil t)
         (7 'font-lock-variable-name-face nil t)))
      "Keywords to hilight in Conf Java Properties mode.")
    ...

Perhaps the conf-font-lock-keywords should also use single quote?
