Subject: 25.0.50; out-of-date doc and Commentary in `font-lock' wrt
 `font-lock-syntactic-keywords'
Date: Thu, 1 Jan 2015 14:25:33 -0800 (PST)

`C-h v font-lock-syntactic-keywords' says that the variable is obsolete
since 24.1.  But in font-lock.el, the code, multiple doc strings, and
the Commentary all rely on it.

Something is not up to date, it seems.  Whatever that is, it should have
been taken care of at the same time that this variable was declared
obsolete.  That's 4 releases ago, now.  As of Emacs 25.1, it will be 5
releases overdue.
