meta-mode.el comment on font lock

[Lennart Borgman (gmail)]

I think the comments about font lock in meta-mode.el needs some 
updating. Here is how it looks now:

;; Font Lock Support:
;;
;; If you are using global-font-lock-mode (introduced in Emacs 19.31),
;; fontification in Metafont and/or MetaPost mode will be activated
;; automatically.  To speed up fontification for the rather complex
;; patterns used in these modes, it may be a good idea to activate
;; lazy-lock as a font-lock-support-mode (introduced in Emacs 19.32)
;; by adding these lines to your startup file:
;;
;;  (global-font-lock-mode t)
;;  (setq font-lock-support-mode 'lazy-lock-mode)

What do you suggest?  Talking about jit?  Deleting the comment?

It looks to me like the whole comment should be deleted, but Stefan 
suggested just removing the lazy-lock bit. An alternative is to clearly 
state that the portion I pasted is for versions of Emacs older than 22.

I am not sure what the situation for XEmacs would be, but I don't
think leaving a comment in for which we don't even know whether or not
it might possibly apply makes sense.

So I'd vote for throwing out the whole comment.

The complete nuke has my vote too.

Yes, please remove at least the lazy-lock bits (could be replaced with
jit-lock, but since jit-lock is and has always been the default anyway,
there's no point mentioning it).
Thanks,
