But them when a user wants to introduce some text with some properties (e.g. colour), what is supposed to do.
--------
Would you expect someone to use font-lock-face when font-lock is enabled
(propertize "G" 'font-lock-face '(:foreground "green"))
--------
And use
(propertize "G" 'face '(:foreground "green"))
when font lock is disabled.
--------
Why places face properties according to the mode's definitions but not allow us to change the properties of inserted text, when we can do that anyway?
After calling a particular mode definitions, I should be able te change properties rather than having a lock.
