I remember a similar problem with _autoload:

I wrote a mode (make_ini.sl) that scans slang files for public defined
functions and writes autoload statements in an initialization file (ini.sl).
The idea to use _autoload and _add_completion did not work:
a file with 12 global functions triggered a "line len too long" error
when running ini.sl.

Maybe the problem was the too long literal string in ini.sl?

you need an autoload statement before you can use add_keywords:

autoload("add_keywords", "syntax.sl");

will help.

(But try building the keyword string out of line-wide pieces first, it is
faster.)
