Thank you, that clears things up.  I agree that we should not do any
changes here, and we certainly want to avoid any coupling if we don't
need it.  Thank you for taking the time to explain.

I opened this bug, so I hope that it will be fine if I close it.
I'm therefore doing that with this email.

Severity: wishlist

Should these variables have the prefix `csharp-'?

    `codedoc-font-lock-doc-comments'
    `codedoc-font-lock-keywords'

I also see that `codedoc-font-lock-keywords' seems to be unused?
