I think defun, defface, etc. are just the same kind of function calls
what you want to fontify. Indeed they are implemented in the same way
in .el files as your own functions...

Have you played with `prepend'?

Maybe your fontification is interpreted first, so "default" settings
will appear only if they are defined as override=t -- what is not
probable.

Maybe you should protect those "keywords" by more precise regexps??

      (cons "\\<\\(nil\\|t\\)\\>"

      (cons "([\t ]*\\(defun\\|defface\\|etc\\)\\(\\w+\\)" and fontify
      only 2nd group??
