What I said.
I've now installed the change so everybody can try it by h??self.
There's no direct way to deactivate it right now, but is easy enough by
setting the help-argument-name face to default.
I've been using this patch for several days and it works fine. There's a
little problem with docstrings like the one for define-key, because they
use:
(define-key KEYMAP KEY DEF)
and, in the description below:
or a cons (KEYMAP . CHAR), meaning use definition of CHAR in map KEYMAP
This second KEYMAP gets highlighted because it's also an argument, even
if the docstring is using KEYMAP also to define a part of another
argument (DEF, in this case). IMO, this is an ambiguity in such
docstrings and should be fixed.
