That does sound quite useful, yes -- that's something I bump into from
time to time, but has never known what to do about.  So we should
probably give it a new default key binding (if we decide to free up
`M-o').

In a couple of test cases here, though, `font-lock-fontify-buffer' seems
to give more dependable results.
