I dislike them, too. My point is that this is not a bug on jit-lock-function, but something pervasive. Changing it would require introducing a bunch of obsolete aliases, for little gain. IMHO the best thing to do is adding a note to the coding guidelines stating what to do (perhaps the -default-function you suggest, though I don't much like it either), and let the current uses languish and disappear. =C2=A0 =C2=A0 Juanma
