No ideas on this?  I've tried various things based on what I've found in the
various filetypes.* files, but the only thing that I could seem to do is
highlight 'dnl' as a keyword, but I'd like it to be treated as a comment line so
geany doesn't try to parse the line for backticks and quotes.

Is this something that should be a wishlist bug?
