Its purpose is the opposite of 'shadow' and goes beyond font-lock. Would it be a good idea to create a new face (and from which font-lock-warning-face could inherit) called `warning', say, and put it in faces.el so that font-lock doesn't have to be loaded? Maybe, but we would need to think about this somewhat more before doing it. What other uses would we want this to be used for?
