I don't like it because I don't like moving code around gratuitously
and because it looks like a might large "core".

I'd much rather create a new minor mode `syntax-highlight-mode' which
uses the variable `syntax-highlight-mode-function' (which defaults
to font-lock-mode) to turn the mode on/off.

Or something like that.  I'd probably prefer for this minor mode to be like
global-font-lock-mode rather than like font-lock-mode.

Or maybe global-font-lock-mode could be moved to simple.el and
extended to obey a variable like `syntax-highlight-mode-function'.
