[ESS] font-lock-keywords-case-fold-search in BUGS mode

[S. McKay Curtis]

Hi Stephen,

Here is the particular file that I am working on:

model {
	for (i in 1:nS){
	    for (j in 1:nI){ mn[i,j] <- mu[j] + lam[j]*theta[i] }
	    Y[i,1:4] ~ dmnorm(mn[i,1:4],Pmat1[,])
	    Y[i,5:8] ~ dmnorm(mn[i,5:8],Pmat2[,])
	    }

	##==================================================
	## Priors for latent variables
	for (i in 1:nS){ theta[i] ~ dnorm(0,1) }

	##==================================================
	## Loadings and Intercepts
	for (j in 1:nI){ lam[j] ~ dnorm(0,1) T(0,) }
	for (j in 1:nI){ mu[j] ~ dnorm(0,1) }

	##==================================================
	## Priors for variance parameters
	Pmat1[1:4,1:4] ~ dwish(W[,],4)
	Sig1[1:4,1:4] <- inverse(Pmat1[,])
	Pmat2[1:4,1:4] ~ dwish(W[,],4)
	Sig2[1:4,1:4] <- inverse(Pmat2[,])

}

All keywords (like "for", "dnorm", etc.) are font locked as I would
expect them to be, *except* the subscript "i" is also font locked
(e.g. in Y[i,1:4]).  This is because "I" (capital i) is defined as a
keyword (because it's used in specifying truncated distributions like
"dnorm(0,1) I(0,)"), but because "font-lock-keywords-case-fold-search"
is set to "t" so the lower case "i" when used as an index is also
highlighted.  Similarly, if I were to type "FOR" (all caps) into this
buffer, it would also be highlighted.

I can get the syntax highlighting that I expect by setting the value
of font-lock-keywords-case-fold-search manually ("M-x set-variable
[RET] font-lock-keywords-case-fold-search [RET] nil"), but my attempt
to add a hook to do this automatically hasn't worked.

I am using GNU Emacs 22.3.1 and ESS 5.3.8.

Thanks again,
McKay
