The disadvantage with this approach is that the user couldn't toggle fontification on and off by typing 'M-x font-lock-mode' in a special buffer; they would have to regenerate the buffer text (e.g. by typing 'g' in an *Occur* buffer). This is an inconsistency that we are apparently introducing for performance reasons. While I don't like that, I accept your decision, because we could quite easily later change the implementation mechanism to support toggling fontification independently of the construction of buffer text. The important part is to standardize on the interface. > This should satisfy all of us who have said anything about the > issue. Does it? Besides the above issue (which is not entirely crucial), I think your proposal is good.
