I tend to agree. I think if the only reason not to turn on font-lock is
because the visual effects are annoying, then I suggest the following:
- always turn on the font-lock machinery.
- font-lock.el places face properties on the `font-lock-face' property.
M-x font-lock-mode does nothing more than
(set (make-local-variable 'char-property-alias-alist)
(cons '(face font-lock-face) char-property-alias-alist))
