The exclamation marks are not a recursive thing.  But I added `and' and
`not' rules that use recursion.

Okay, well, in this case this is how the patch would look like, modulo
the manual update etc.  (And I need to test more before merging.)

I changed a bit the meaning of the different rules, as explained in the
docstring.  So now you can say

```
(setq font-lock-ignore
      '((prog-mode font-lock-*-face
                   ! help-echo
        ;; Uningnore the rule that matches a defun
        (emacs-lisp-mode ! "(defun"))))

```
