Hm, I think, in that case let-binding `hi-lock--inhibit-font-lock-hook'
would be more appropriate, because it's a special case to circumvent the
asymmetry of the function `hi-lock-font-lock-hook', which switches off
`hi-lock-mode' when `font-lock-mode' is disabled, but doesn't switch it
on in the other case.

If nobody objects, I'll commit version modified this way.

Bye,
