I have some more changes that I'd like to discuss before committing.  (These are
features in my patched version at bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/dotemacs).

Basically:

* a separate face for class names:  font-lock-type-face is meant for types in
  type declarations and therefore usually not a very noticeable face.  For
  example I like to have class names underlined, but having font-lock-type-face
  underlined looks very odd in c-mode.

* a separate face for exception classes: somewhat redundant, but looks nice.
  Both for builtin exceptions and any name after a raise or except.

* special locking for escape sequences and %-formatting codes in strings, like
  the equivalent feature in elisp-mode.

  (The code seems to have some issues with font-locking buffers, so I'd be
  glad for suggestions how to fix it.)

* no filling in code (that one is pretty simple, just remove the "fill-
  paragraph" in the last condition of py-fill-paragraph).

BTW, while looking at this, something is still not quite right with the parsing
of triple-quoted string literals... as can be witnessed when filling a TQS with
embedded SQS...

If I can figure out how to do it, I'll commit these changes separately to a
private branch on launchpad, so that they can be reviewed.
