Especially when one considers that these "special" buffers could quite
legitimately later be extended to be real modes;
They ARE real modes. What is special about them is that the text is
generated by Emacs. If we extend these modes, which may happen,
that basic fact won't change.
Here is a proposal:
* M-x font-lock-mode will enable and disable fontification in any
buffer.
* font-lock-mode, when enabled, will not always use the mechanism in
font-lock.el. In special buffers, it will just set a flag that
directs the mechanism to insert faces when constructing the text.
* global-font-lock-mode, when enabled, will cause use of
fontification in all buffers that can do it. In each buffer,
it will work as if M-x font-lock had been enabled; which means,
therefore, that special buffers will do it directly, while others
will use font-lock.el.
* When global-font-lock-mode is not enabled, there will be two
possible alternatives for which buffers to fontify: special buffers
only, or no buffers.
The defaults will be that global-font-lock-mode is not enabled
and fontification is for special buffers only.
This should satisfy all of us who have said anything about the
issue. Does it?
