There now is a new `font-latex-forward-comment' function with special
provisions for docTeX mode.  The code turned out rather ugly, but it
does its job.

The overall execution time of `font-latex-match-command-with-arguments'
for fully fontifying longtable.dtx dropped from 4.36 seconds to 0.53.
The average time per function call from 0.0014 seconds to 0.0002.

Please check if you see any strange fontifications in docTeX mode
after this change.
