If the concept of a label is used consistently across many major-modes, 
maybe it would make sense to define this as a first-class font-lock concept?

Basically we could have an official "font-lock-label-face" instead, 
which by default would be derived from font-lock-constant-face. That way 
people who want labels to look more like functions can customize it on 
their end.

Would that be a better option?
