This is a file that affects `lisp-mode` and not `font-lock` (it's partly
a philosophical choice, but support for "font-lock in mode foo-mode"
traditionally resides in the definition of foo-mode rather than in the
definition of font-lock).

So "cl-<bla>" is preferable to "font-lock-<bla>".

IOW maybe there's a better choice than `cl-font-lock`, but
`font-lock-cl` is definitely not it.
