I'm testing on 23.0.60 (current trunk from the CVS repository), but
AFAICS, there's no significant difference between the two ada-mode.el
packages that should affect font-locking.

That's not exactly the behavior I see, but I certainly see that goto
is not highlighted after the final "o" is written. The same happens
for "use", for example. That is expected, see the variable
ada-font-lock-keywords.

I'm not sure they are bugs. No one said font-locking should be
instantaneous; often some context is needed.

Let's wait for Stephen's opinion.
