FWIW, I use this now.
Changed the whitespace match after var name.

(concat "^\\s-*("
        (regexp-opt
          '("defvar" "defconst" "defconstant" "defcustom"
            "defparameter" "define-symbol-macro") t)
        "\\s-+\\(\\sw\\(\\sw\\|\\s_\\)+\\)"
        "\\(\\s-\\|[\n]\\)+" ; \n has char syntax `>', not `-'
        "[^) \t\n]")

\s-+ does not match newlines in Lisp modes (newlines have comment-end syntax),
so I changed \s-+ to \(\s-\|[\n]\)+.  No doubt still not perfect, but seems to
work OK.
