Actually, it might not be exactly the same (but I've also updated many 
.lang files).  Previously, it all relied on a big regular expression 
with many alternatives, and so it relied on the regular expression 
machine to select the most appropriate one, which I don't think it's the 
same of the current one.  However, the current one (which is a manual 
implementation of the selection of the right regular expression) is 
targeted to programming languages (the fact that the prefix only 
contains spaces).
