[PATCH] emacs: devel: Highlight 'modify-phases' keywords.

Hello, I would like to add a usual keyword highlighting for some Guix things (substitute-keyword-arguments, with-directory-excursion, etc.). But this one is unusual, as along with 'modify-phases' itself, its keywords ('add-after', 'delete', …) will also be highlighted. IMO this will make the code

Re: We are Neanderthals!

> Only antique Neanderthals type two spaces after a period: Oh, so we are the more modern Neanderthals then, compared to the common neolithic Neanderthals. I take that as a compliment ;) —— Emacs users have a good reason to use two spaces between sentences: ‘forward-sentence’ (M-e, M-a) uses ‘s
