You are right. That is the generic (i.e. proper) approach to doing
this.
Actually, the changes needed to change font-lock to use categories
instead of faces seem to be fairly trivial, if we do it like this
(illustrated by font-lock-comment-face):
(defface font-lock-comment-face ...) ;; as now
(defvar font-lock-comment-face 'font-lock-comment-face) ;; as now
(put 'font-lock-comment-face 'face font-lock-comment-face) ;; new
and then replace all
( .... 'face font-lock-comment-face)
with
( .... 'category 'font-lock-comment-face)
[this is an oversimplification as the properties are not
set in that way ... but I hope you get the idea].
However, the problem with this approach is that setting the
font-lock-comment-face variable to another face is not reflected in
the `face' property of font-lock-comment-face, so it will not longer
have any effect. Any ideas how to overcome that problem?
