I don't know how to respond to font-lock being "strange", but if it is slow (and I haven't had that perception), then I think we should regard that as an optimization problem, not a reason to change the user interface. > I don't want to turn that off. You could quite easily turn it back on: (add-hook 'occur-mode-hook 'font-lock-mode) That could even be the default. And if resource consumption is a problem, then we should be able to trim down font-lock.el such that if a mode implements its own `font-lock-fontify-region' function, all the regexp and other machinery wouldn't be loaded. Honestly I really don't understand the objections to this.
