The main problem with such an approach is that it quickly becomes
a performance issue.  It is ok for a few terms, but if you accumulate
a large number of terms, and if you want to use font-lock to activate
words as links, this means that after each letter you type, font-lock
will have to match all words in the current line against all those
terms.
This can become slow.

Hi.  A question from the peanut gallery.  Could the checking to see if
a term matches be deferred until the user types a non-whitespace
character followed by either a whitespace character or a movement
operation?  If this is possible, it might speed things up a little.  I
don't know enough about how font-lock work to know if this reasonable.
