Currently we have :toggle variable, which let variable control whether to enable a query. Major modes could sever font-lock into categories, each controlled by a variable. Eg, python-font-lock-type, python-font-lock-assignment, etc. I think that should be more than enough as long as developers bother to create these toggles.
