Subject: 23.3; defmethod doc string not fontified
Date: Wed, 07 Dec 2011 12:38:20 -0500

When editing Common Lisp code, documentation strings for defmethod forms
should be treated just like the documentation of defun forms, but they
are not.  Enter the following text in a common-lisp-mode buffer:

  (defun foo (x)
    "defun documentation"
    x)

  (defmethod foo (x)
    "defmethod documentation"
    x)

Use M-x describe-face on each documentation string.  The "defun
documentation" string is fontified using font-lock-doc-face, while the
"defmethod documentation" string is fontified using
font-lock-string-face.  They should both be font-lock-doc-face.

One possible fix is to add a line like

  (put 'defmethod 'doc-string-elt 3)

to the file lisp/emacs-lisp/lisp-mode.el right after the similar line
for defun.
