(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

I'm unable to reproduce most of this -- do/done seem to be matched, and
echo is font-locked.  (I tried this in Emacs 25.1 -> Emacs 29.)  The one
thing I can reproduce is the missing font-locking of the "for" keyword.
