Thanks for the clarification.  This doesn't really help me though, I want to
adjust my existing font-lock using code so that it detects when it would wipe
out said text properties enriched-mode set up.  It doesn't appear to be
sufficient to just check whether `font-lock-mode` is non-nil, if I do that
inside the example enriched.txt file, it's set to `t` for some reason.  Again,
what would the correct check be here?

Hm, I've done that for non-font-lock scenarios before, but in this case I
really need font-lock's ability to search for strings and apply fontification
to them, so this isn't really an option.  Looking for other examples in the
Emacs sources I've found uses of `jit-lock-register`.
