Hmph. Emacs can do this easily. Well, it can easily set the font to
large for _all_ keywords (I just did that, via interactive
customization). It would not be hard to just set the font to large for
a subset of keywords.

For those who want to experiment with this; start customize, navigate
to Faces | Font Lock | Font Lock Highlighting Faces | Font Lock
Keyword Face. Change Height; I used 'scale 3.0'.

You must have been trying to make the font large for the entire
statement? That is also possible in Emacs (it can find a statement),
but that wasn't what I originally proposed.
