font-lock-builtin-face not found?

[Rodney Sparapani]

Patrick:

The smart underscore bugaboo is on the TODO list, but it might take some time to 
fix.  In the meantime, place something like this in your ~/.emacs after 
(require 'ess-site).  Please let me know if this works since we don't have Stata 
on our Unix cluster.

(save-excursion                           ;;workaround for ess-smart-underscore
  (switch-to-buffer "unlikely-name.ado")  ;;workaround for ess-smart-underscore
  (sta-mode)                              ;;workaround for ess-smart-underscore
  (define-key sta-mode-local-map "_" nil) ;;workaround for ess-smart-underscore
  (kill-buffer "unlikely-name.ado"))      ;;workaround for ess-smart-underscore
  
Thanks, Rodney
