The # at the beginning of each keyword are wrong, since they are already
matched by the beginning-regex.

This regular expression is wrong.  Looks like a Perl style or
something.  That's something we should state clearly somewhere in the
documentation: that regexps in .lang files are to be written in GNU
style.
