[ESS-bugs] font lock in transcript mode with %

ess 16.10

In *R* (iESS [R]: run ElDoc) this line is font-locked entirely black

95% family-wise confidence level

I see this as correct behavior for the iESS buffer .

The same line in a .Rout file (ESS Transcript [])
is entirely blue starting with the "%", as are all succeeding lines
until a closing "%" is observed.
That is, the opening "%" in interpreted as the beginning of a
%anything% operator.
Since there is actually no closing "%", the rest of the file is blue.

I see this as incorrect behavior for the ESS Transcript buffer, the .R
buffer, and the
Examples section of the *help[R] ()* files.

I would like to see %anything% returned to the previous fontification
of ordinary
binary functions similar to + and *.

This shows up in the printed output of
   npk.aov <- aov(yield ~ block, npk)
   confint(multcomp::glht(npk.aov))
   HH::mmc(npk.aov)
