bug#24767: jgraph comments not recognized any more

[Stefan Monnier]

Package: Emacs


Try the following:

    % emacs -Q -l .../elpa/packages/jgraph-mode/jgraph-mode.el ~/foo.jgr
    (* hello *)

The string "(* hello *)" should be highlighted as a comment, and is
indeed correctly highlighted this way in Emacs-25 (and Emacs-24), but
not in "master".

The particularity of jgraph-mode's handling of (*...*) is that ?(, ?),
and ?* are given "symbol" syntax, so I guess that src/syntax.c was
modified in a way which makes it skip the whole (* as being a symbol.
