OK, that's nice.

Yes, looks good.  I noticed one more formatting thing.  font-lock is
showing "result))))" in red; you can type C-h . to check what the
warning is, which in this case is "Hidden behind deeper element; move to
another line?".  Can you put that on its own line to eliminate the
warning?

This looks good to go in now.  Can you send a draft of the manual
change, and then once that's reviewed, I'll have you put it all into one
git-format-patch attachment (including the commit log/change log entry)
and I can push that to master?

Thanks,
Thomas
