Hello,
I received a mail from Michael Slass, which I will quote here with
permission:

I think this idea is so good that it should be the default behavior for
Emacs.
Attached is a patch for review. This patch doesn't remove any behavior,
but it is conceptually a fairly large change, so I think we should
consider it carefully.
There are several pros and cons, as I see it. The main thing we gain is
that the old behavior of M-y was useless if the previous command wasn't
a yank, and the suggested new behavior is, I personally believe, quite
useful.
The main disadvantage I see is that users may type just M-y accidentally
and be confused. For this reason, I've made C-g quit the kill ring menu
as well (as Michael Slass suggested in a later message). Further
suggestions here would be appreciated.
As for the patch itself: basically, I renamed `browse-kill-ring' to
`kill-ring-menu', removed the more esoteric functionality (like editing
kill ring entries), and rewrote it to use font lock, among other things.
Some minor points:
I have moved all the killing stuff out from simple.el into kill-ring.el;
I feel that anything which defines a mode should, as a general
principle, be in a separate file. However, if there is disagreement
about this, we can put everything back in simple.el. It is not
important to the main change.
There are some minor additions to font-lock.el; ignore those for the
moment, please. I'm just sharing some code between replace.el and
kill-ring.el (and probably ibuffer.el soon).
Finally, I'm not totally satisfied with the manual additions; there are
some bootstrapping issues, since we haven't discussed windows at that
point in the manual yet, etc.

+entries, if the previous command was not a 'C-y'. Previously, `M-y'
+ran the command `yank-pop'. Now it runs `yank-previous', which will

+node "Yanking Earlier Kills" in the Emacs manual for more information.

+choose from (@code{kill-ring-menu}). If the previous command was a
+yank, then @kbd{M-y} will replace the previously yanked text with the
+text from an earlier kill (@code{yank-pop}).
+
+@subsubsection The Kill Ring Menu
+If you are not sure how long ago you killed the piece of text you're
+loooking for, it can often be easiest to use the kill ring menu.
+Simply type @kbd{M-y} (which was not preceeded by a @kbd{C-y}), and a
+window should pop up, which will display the text previously killed,
+one entry on each line. In this special mode, keys do not insert
+themselves; instead, they choose actions to perform.

+@table @kbd
+@item RET
+Choose the text at point to yank (@code{kill-ring-menu-insert}).
+@item n
+Move point forward by one kill ring entry
+(@code{kill-ring-menu-forward}).
+@item p
+Move point backwards by one kill ring entry
+(@code{kill-ring-menu-backward}).
+@item q
+Quit the kill ring menu without yanking any text
+(@code{kill-ring-menu-quit}).
+@item d
+Remove the text at point from the kill ring
+(@code{kill-ring-menu-delete}).
+@end table
+
+The kill ring menu can display multi-line text; In the default display
+style, all text is shown on one line, and newlines are shown as a
+@samp{\n}.
+
+@subsubsection Cycling Through Yanked Text
+
+If you know precisely where the text you previously yanked is in the
+@code{kill-ring}, or it was very recently yanked, you may find using
+the @code{yank-pop} functionality of @kbd{M-y} to be faster than the
+kill ring menu. For example, to recover the text of the
+next-to-the-last kill, you could first use @kbd{C-y} to yank the last
+kill, and then type @kbd{M-y} to replace it with the previous kill.
+
+ You can understand @code{yank-pop} in terms of a ``last yank''
+pointer which points at an entry in the kill ring. Each time you
+kill, the ``last yank'' pointer moves to the newly made entry at the
+front of the ring. @kbd{C-y} yanks the entry which the ``last yank''
+pointer points to. After that, typing @kbd{M-y} moves the ``last
+yank'' pointer to a different entry, and the text in the buffer
+changes to match. Enough @code{yank-pop} commands can move the
+pointer to any entry in the ring, so you can get any entry into the
buffer. Eventually the pointer reaches the end of the ring; the next
@kbd{M-y} loops back around to the first entry again.
- @kbd{M-y} moves the ``last yank'' pointer around the ring, but it does
-not change the order of the entries in the ring, which always runs from
-the most recent kill at the front to the oldest one still remembered.
-
- @kbd{M-y} can take a numeric argument, which tells it how many entries
-to advance the ``last yank'' pointer by. A negative argument moves the
-pointer toward the front of the ring; from the front of the ring, it
-moves ``around'' to the last entry and continues forward from there.
-
- Once the text you are looking for is brought into the buffer, you can
-stop doing @kbd{M-y} commands and it will stay there. It's just a copy
-of the kill ring entry, so editing it in the buffer does not change
-what's in the ring. As long as no new killing is done, the ``last
-yank'' pointer remains at the same place in the kill ring, so repeating
-@kbd{C-y} will yank another copy of the same previous kill.
-
- If you know how many @kbd{M-y} commands it would take to find the
-text you want, you can yank that text in one step using @kbd{C-y} with
-a numeric argument. @kbd{C-y} with an argument restores the text from
-the specified kill ring entry, counting back from the most recent as
-1. Thus, @kbd{C-u 2 C-y} gets the next-to-the-last block of killed

+Most window systems provide some sort of facility for cutting and

+text that other programs have provided for pasting.
+
+The function should be called with no arguments. If the function

+of the Emacs kill ring should be used. If the function returns a
+string, that string should be put in the kill ring as the latest kill.
+
+Note that the function should return a string only if a program other
+than Emacs has provided a string for pasting; if Emacs provided the
+most recent string, the function should return nil. If it is
+difficult to tell whether Emacs or some other program provided the

+Simply type @kbd{M-y} (which was not preceeded by a @kbd{C-y}), and a

+
+@subsubsection Cycling Through Yanked Text
+
+If you know precisely where the text you previously yanked is in the
+@code{kill-ring}, or it was very recently yanked, you may find using
+the @code{yank-pop} functionality of @kbd{M-y} to be faster than the
+kill ring menu. For example, to recover the text of the
+next-to-the-last kill, you could first use @kbd{C-y} to yank the last
+kill, and then type @kbd{M-y} to replace it with the previous kill.
+
+ You can understand @code{yank-pop} in terms of a ``last yank''
+pointer which points at an entry in the kill ring. Each time you
+kill, the ``last yank'' pointer moves to the newly made entry at the
+front of the ring. @kbd{C-y} yanks the entry which the ``last yank''
+pointer points to. After that, typing @kbd{M-y} moves the ``last
+yank'' pointer to a different entry, and the text in the buffer
+changes to match. Enough @code{yank-pop} commands can move the
+pointer to any entry in the ring, so you can get any entry into the
buffer. Eventually the pointer reaches the end of the ring; the next
@kbd{M-y} loops back around to the first entry again.
- @kbd{M-y} moves the ``last yank'' pointer around the ring, but it does
-not change the order of the entries in the ring, which always runs from
-the most recent kill at the front to the oldest one still remembered.
-
- @kbd{M-y} can take a numeric argument, which tells it how many entries
-to advance the ``last yank'' pointer by. A negative argument moves the
-pointer toward the front of the ring; from the front of the ring, it
-moves ``around'' to the last entry and continues forward from there.
-
- Once the text you are looking for is brought into the buffer, you can
-stop doing @kbd{M-y} commands and it will stay there. It's just a copy
-of the kill ring entry, so editing it in the buffer does not change
-what's in the ring. As long as no new killing is done, the ``last
-yank'' pointer remains at the same place in the kill ring, so repeating
-@kbd{C-y} will yank another copy of the same previous kill.
-
- If you know how many @kbd{M-y} commands it would take to find the
-text you want, you can yank that text in one step using @kbd{C-y} with
-a numeric argument. @kbd{C-y} with an argument restores the text from

Why? `browse-kill-ring' seems quite clear, whereas `kill-ring-menu'
sounds vaguely like it's going to pop down from the menu-bar.
Also, something seems screwy with your patch -- it's basically just one
big delete followed by one big add, even though much has changed. This
makes it very hard to read.

"unreadable", so please make the change in two steps.

You'll need to add kill-ring.elc to the list of files to pass

By "have text-property" it seems you mean "have non-nil text-property".
Check `default-text-properties' to discover that the two notions
are actually different.

Also another comment:
+(defcustom kill-ring-menu-separator-face 'bold
+ "The face in which to highlight the `kill-ring-menu-separator'."
It's the general custom now-days to not define variables holding faces,
but instead simply make a specialized face if you need it, and use the
:inherit attribute if you want to use a builtin face by default. This
is more convenient and less confusing for users.
E.g. instead of above, use:
(defface kill-ring-menu-separator '((t :inherit bold))
"The face in which to highlight the `kill-ring-menu-separator'."
:group 'killing)
[or just use `:weight bold' instead of :inherit]

Ok. Please find a version of the patch attached which keeps things in
simple.el.
It's not arranged as nicely as I would like, but it does show pretty
clearly that there are almost no changes to previously existing
functions.

+The kill ring menu can display multi-line text; In the default display

+
+@subsubsection Cycling Through Yanked Text
+
+If you know precisely where the text you previously yanked is in the
+@code{kill-ring}, or it was very recently yanked, you may find using
+the @code{yank-pop} functionality of @kbd{M-y} to be faster than the
+kill ring menu. For example, to recover the text of the
+next-to-the-last kill, you could first use @kbd{C-y} to yank the last
+kill, and then type @kbd{M-y} to replace it with the previous kill.
+
+ You can understand @code{yank-pop} in terms of a ``last yank''
+pointer which points at an entry in the kill ring. Each time you
+kill, the ``last yank'' pointer moves to the newly made entry at the
+front of the ring. @kbd{C-y} yanks the entry which the ``last yank''
+pointer points to. After that, typing @kbd{M-y} moves the ``last
+yank'' pointer to a different entry, and the text in the buffer
+changes to match. Enough @code{yank-pop} commands can move the
+pointer to any entry in the ring, so you can get any entry into the
buffer. Eventually the pointer reaches the end of the ring; the next
@kbd{M-y} loops back around to the first entry again.
- @kbd{M-y} moves the ``last yank'' pointer around the ring, but it does
-not change the order of the entries in the ring, which always runs from
-the most recent kill at the front to the oldest one still remembered.
-
- @kbd{M-y} can take a numeric argument, which tells it how many entries
-to advance the ``last yank'' pointer by. A negative argument moves the
-pointer toward the front of the ring; from the front of the ring, it
-moves ``around'' to the last entry and continues forward from there.
-
- Once the text you are looking for is brought into the buffer, you can
-stop doing @kbd{M-y} commands and it will stay there. It's just a copy
-of the kill ring entry, so editing it in the buffer does not change
-what's in the ring. As long as no new killing is done, the ``last
-yank'' pointer remains at the same place in the kill ring, so repeating
-@kbd{C-y} will yank another copy of the same previous kill.
-
- If you know how many @kbd{M-y} commands it would take to find the
-text you want, you can yank that text in one step using @kbd{C-y} with
-a numeric argument. @kbd{C-y} with an argument restores the text from
-the specified kill ring entry, counting back from the most recent as
-1. Thus, @kbd{C-u 2 C-y} gets the next-to-the-last block of killed

Thanks for your comments. I have incorporated the changes (including
renaming it back to `browse-kill-ring') in the latest patch.

Please don't append `-face' to the name of the face, though -- faces
have a separate namespace, so it's quite redundant (it's like appending
`-variable' to the name of all your variables); note that none of emacs'
`primitive' faces (those in faces.el) use the `-face' suffix.
BTW, re: [ No need to CC me, I do read emacs-devel ] -- if it bothers
you to be CC'd, you should probably add one of those magic headers that
prevents it; I forget the names offhand, but they're probably in the
Gnus docs or something. Since in general one can't be sure which
people are on a mailing list or not, it's best to reply to all addresses
by default (it never bothers me to receive such mail because Gnus
can automatically suppress duplicates).

Fixed, thanks. I take it with these comments that you are satisfied

I don't really wish to debate this in depth, since I sense this has the
potential to develop into a long thread, where I will certainly be CC'd
:) ...so this will be the last thing I'll say about it on this list.
In Debian culture (where I mainly come from), the general opinion on the
issue is against it. The CC is another separate identical copy of the
message, which goes straight to my inbox. When CC'ing, you are making
an assumption that I filter my mail into separate mailboxes, and that I
don't read those lists constantly.
If that isn't true, then I have to spend time deleting lots of duplicate
messages. Or I have to set up a complex email filtering system, which
also takes my time and is difficult to manage.
A more reasonable assumption to make is that someone who posts to a list
is subscribed to it. Almost all of us who participate in regular
discussion are subscribed, I'm sure. If someone posts who *isn't*
subscribed, then the onus is on *them* to say "Please CC me". That way
everyone else doesn't suffer just because a few lazy people occasionally
post to the list without being subscribed outside.
From what I see GNU culture generally is in support of CC'ing. If I
can't change this, then I just hope that a polite request at the top of
my messages will at least prevent me personally from being CC'd. And
again, it's just a request; nobody has to listen to it. But doing so
will make my life easier.

Er, rather I'm picking off low-hanging fruit. I'll look at the rest of
the diff now that it's in easy-to-read format (I trust you intend to
move the code back into kill-ring.el, BTW, since it seems like a good
idea, aside from making the patch hard to read).

...or your MUA can discard duplicates. This is not hard, and is clearly
the right `technical solution.'

If you put the following header in your messages, then some MUAs (at
least Gnus, and probably others) will do this automatically:
Mail-Copies-To: never
I suppose a cute hack would be to have the mailing list software
automatically insert such a header into message from people it knows to
be on the list (but maybe that would cause other problems, I don't
know).

Nope, we make the assumption that it is an open list where
non-subscribers can send messages, and do not make the extra manual
effort to remove the CC for people we believe are subscribing.

Nobody has to suffer, as it is trivial (depending on the agent) to
1) avoid getting the duplicates in the first place, and
2) filter out the duplicates if you get them
and both can be fully automated.
We can't really expect non-subscribers to know special rules for the
mailing lists, or subscribers to remember who is and isn't subscribed,
and manually add or remove those from the list. And none of that can
be automated.

Please consider using
Mail-Followups-To: list-name
or
Mail-Copies-To: never
or both, which will make at least some mail clients avoid the CC
automatically.

A second or two per message is not so bad. It's a minor inconvenience,
hardly worth any action, let alone action that could have adverse effects.

That's not a good idea, I think: people will forget and get thrown out of
the discussion they started. I don't think we should treat subscribers'
convenience any different than that of others.

There is no reason why the deletion of duplicates can't be made the default.
I wish more people used it because it is The Right Thing and because it
would put more pressure onto people sending CFPs to reuse the same
Message-ID rather than to say "we apologize if you receive this a hundred
times".

The Gnus manual only mentions `Followups-To:' -- however it only uses
that headers for news, not mail.

Gnus always respects such a header; if it finds one, it won't include
the author of the message you're replying to in your reply. If you're
sending news, this only matters when you also send `courtesy copies',
but if you're sending mail, it's actually more important, since
followups include the sender by default.

Let's not create faces profligately.
If there is some general-purpose face which is usable here,
I think it would be better to use that rather than define
another face.
If there is no general-purpose face for purposes like this,
let's make one, instead of making a face just for this feature.

I suggest to add help text to the mouse-2 binding saying something like

Answers to multiple people:
- It is Mail-Followup-To, without an "s".
- It was invented by Dan Bernstein, and documented in
< http://cr.yp.to/proto/replyto.html >
- It is supported in Gnus from the Oort line
(i.e. what will become the next version).
- Mail-Copies-To was invented by Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen for Gnus for
both mail and news, and has been adopted by a large number of other
news clients, but no other mail clients as far as I know.

It is being standardized for news in the form
Mail-Copies-To: nobody
but older versions of Gnus does not understand that.
Here is the specification from USEFOR (the RFC 1036 replacement):

If possible, wouldn't it be nice if RMAIL used the Gnus / message.el
functionality for this instead of duplicating code, variables and
documentation?
Wasn't message.el supposed to replace sendmail.el?

Well, I can make it smaller. I really do think that a *lot* of users
will use it if we make it a core feature. I think it's much easier to
use than typing "C-y M-y M-y...". That is why I put it on M-y, which has
no use if not preceeded by C-y.
Using M-y would be convenient, I agree. However, it might be a
nuisance for people who type it by accident. I do that from time to
time. Right now I just get an error message when I do that; the
nuisance would be to get this menu instead.
Perhaps we could ask the other people on emacs-devel what they think?
Ok.

I think it would be very easy to accidentally get the menu. You usually
use the M-y command in a series (to move through the kill-ring), and
it's not uncommon to mistype it if you're really using `ESC y' and
accidentally hit another key in between two M-ys. Getting the error
message in such a circumstance is a little annoying, but being popped
into a new buffer would drive me nuts. That seems like too high a
penalty for a common typo.
It also just seems a little odd to have the radically different behavior
depending on whether it followed C-y or not, and it seems like it would
make M-y kind of hard to explain -- I still think of it as a separate
command, even if it's only really useful following C-y.
So, I'm against putting this mode on M-y.
BTW, why not make M-y do something reasonable if invoked without a
preceeding C-y? I've always thought it would be handy if it would do
the equivalent of `C-w C-y M-y' in that situation -- i.e., replace the
current region with the first thing in the kill ring (and then you
could type further `M-y's to continue down the ring).
Note that doing that would make recovering from a `M-y typo' much more
pleasant; what I usually do in that situation to restart the M-y
sequence is `C-w C-y M-y'...

Well, you can just type 'q' in that case. I mean, it might take some
getting used to, but for people new to Emacs I think it would be a big
win.
> That seems like too high a penalty for a common typo.
Well, to me, what we should ask is whether or not the added
functionality is worth the cost of that typo.
Personally, I've more or less altogether stopped using M-y repeatedly to
yank text. It requires holding down Meta, whereas just doing
'M-y n n n RET' is much nicer on my fingers.

True, but we're rather stuck with the keybindings at this point.

It's not as if you can't bind it to some _other_ key sequence...

Ah -- I use transient-mark-mode, which makes the dynamics of such things
different. I think with TMM active, it would be useful behavior, but I
can see that it would probably suck if TMM wasn't active... Would this
make sense as `transient-mark-mode only' behavior?
BTW, I'm pretty sure I've used an emacs-like editor that did this, and
found it quite handy (the command bound to M-y was something like
`replace region' and behaved similarly to Emacs' M-y when repeated),
though I can't confidently remember which one; maybe it was the ATK `ez'
editor, which basically always used behavior similar to
transient-mark-mode.

I don't think it makes sense for M-y to be THAT different in Transient

that would be ok to use in both modes.
Perhaps C-u M-y should do one of these features.

It means that if the user decides they don't want any fontification
(perhaps they find it distracting when viewing an *Occur* or *Kill Ring*
buffer), then they can just use the normal font-lock mechanism for
disabling fontification in those buffers. Or, conversely, if they do
decide they want it, it's easy to enable; they can just type 'M-x
font-lock-mode' to toggle things. It is a good, clean interface. I
think every mode should be changed to respect font-lock-mode.
That might be a valid point. It raises the question: whether it is
better, in these modes that construct special text and can highlight
it, to enable its highlighting by default, or to make it controllable
with M-x font-lock-mode.
In the past we've acted on the view that it is better to highlight
these buffers by default, and the expectation that a considerable
fraction of users won't use Font-Lock mode but will benefit from
highlighting these special buffers.

Since we're apparently moving this discussion to emacs-devel, I'll give
some context:
One of the things Richard commented on was how my proposed
browse-kill-ring patch used font-lock for fontification. He suggested
to apply the faces when the buffer was constructed, and that using
font-lock was wasteful.
However, I think there is a more general and useful paradigm for
fontification in special modes. What I do in that patch (and also in
ibuffer and the new occur-mode) is to apply a special text property (say
'occur-match) to areas of text, and then set up a
`font-lock-fontify-region-function' which then searches for those text
properties and applies faces.
If the user never turns on font-lock-mode, then no fontification will
occur, and font-lock.el will never be loaded. If they do, then things
will automagically be fontified.
For example, in the new Occur implementation, you can switch to the
*Occur* buffer and type 'M-x font-lock-mode' to toggle fontification on
and off, and it will Just Work. The same is true for ibuffer.

Well, these are two separate issues. If we make things controllable via
M-x font-lock-mode, then the user can choose whether or not to enable
highlighting by default through the usual font-lock mechanisms, such as
the functions `global-font-lock-mode', and `font-lock-mode', as well as
the variable `font-lock-global-modes', etc.

I assert (without any statistics) that the vast majority of users put
(global-font-lock-mode 1) in their ~/.emacs file (thereby loading
font-lock.el), and expect fontification in every mode, while the
remaining portion don't want any fontification at all. So in almost all
cases, there is no waste, because font-lock.el will already be loaded,
or will be used by other modes.

I think there needs to be a bit more evidence to justify changing the
status quo.
For my part, I've never seen any complaints on any of the emacs
lists/newsgroups from people that dislike fontification in non-font-lock
modes (this is the important case, because most package currently seem
to either use font-lock, or if not, to default to always having
fontification).
I think it is true that using font-lock is wasteful if all it does is
examine text-properties which could have just as easily been face
properties.

I'm a counter-example, possibly because at root I'm a Henry Ford
acolyte: "You can have your [text] in any color you want, as long as
it's black." I don't like font-lock in text/plain, but I do like it
in program source and I do like color ls.
To be honest, my impression is that everybody likes font lock (except
maybe Jerry Pournelle), it's just that some people want it sometimes,
and some people want it always.

I don't think so. I expect there are many users like me who find
Font-Lock mode strange and/or slow in programs, and thus do not turn
it on, but appreciate the fontification of some special buffers. I
don't want to turn that off.

Right; all the Emacs and XEmacs users I personally know have enabled
font-lock globally.

Hm, I don't personally see, say, an *Occur* buffer as text/plain. But
regardless, in the new implementation it's easy to disable
fontification; just
(add-hook 'occur-mode-hook 'font-lock-mode)
Or
(add-hook 'occur-mode-hook (lambda () (font-lock-mode 0))

Using font-lock for all modes where possible makes things easier for
both groups of people. Previously, you would have to hunt down a
`foo-mode-face' variable, or a `foo-mode-enable-fontification', etc.

It is true that this does change the default; it removes fontification
in an *Occur* buffer where there was fontification before. But in the
end, the user gets more control, in a more consistent fashion, and I
think this win outweighs the change of default.
Using font-lock from the start is a win for other reasons, too. Suppose
that Occur mode was changed so you could actually edit the buffer, and
changes would be reflected in the original buffer. If the user typed
additional matches for the search string into the *Occur* buffer, we
would expect them to be made bold, too. This is possible in a clean way
if we use a dynamic font-lock mechanism.

It's only "wasteful" for those users who liked fontification in special
modes like *Occur*, but not elsewhere. I really do think that those
users are a relatively rare breed.
And finally, this is a situation where we have a user-interface win
(consistency of interface to enabling/disabling fontification) over
resource consumption (loading of font-lock.el). I think that as a
general principle, the former should win over the latter.

You're assuming such `consistency' is a win. Usually consistency is,
but several people have said on this thread that they _like_ the current
`inconsistency.' The rules people follow are not always as simple as
you might wish. Perhaps in this case people see a distinction between
fontifying existing `text files' (like program source) and buffers that
are created by emacs to display some information.
In any case, if it's _really_ desirable to have the single concept of
font-locking control all fontification in buffers (and obviously this is
not clear), then it still seems a bit silly to have font-lock following
non-face properties in the buffer; you could just as easily arrange for
the font-lock `user interface' (e.g., toggling font-lock mode) to be
separate from the font-lock `mechanism' (the part that adds face
properties), and have whatever ad-hoc fontification code you wish follow
the dictates of the former without using the latter.

This is only true if you use `real' font-locking -- e.g., regexps that
match the buffer text -- instead of making font-lock follow text
properties to do its locking. You could have _both_ of course, but that
seems silly; if you really want to dynamically update user added text,
you may as well just use traditional font-locking from the start.

I think that distinction is arbitrary; I don't see it at all.
Especially when one considers that these "special" buffers could quite
legitimately later be extended to be real modes; in that case, are we
going to tell our users, "Oh, you have to set `foo-mode-fontification'
to be non-nil to get special highlighting"? I don't think so; it's
better to make the *interface* via font-lock from the start.

This is *exactly* the way things already work. font-lock in this case
just calls the `font-lock-fontify-region' function to do the
fontification. Thus, font-lock becomes the "user interface", as you
say, and the mode author implements the mechanism.

And why is the former "real" font-locking? Fontification based on
regular expressions is unreliable when we are dealing with a non-regular
language. This is why (or at least I think a major reason why) the
maintainers of font-lock added the ability for the major mode author to
perform fontification themselves.

By "traditional" you mean "based on regexps"? Again, regexp-based
font-lock is not reliable. I personally will always try to avoid
regexp-based fontification in modes I write. And implementing your own
`font-lock-fontify-region' function doesn't mean it has to search for
existing text properties; you can perform arbitrary computation.
But this is a digression. Again, my point is very simple: I think we
should move towards making M-x font-lock-mode, as much as possible, the
standard *interface* for enabling and disabling fontification. Whether
or not is based on regexps is irrelevant.
One other important point; if resource consumption is an issue, we could
quite easily split font-lock.el into font-lock-core.el and font-lock.el,
or whatever.

I don't know how to respond to font-lock being "strange", but if it is
slow (and I haven't had that perception), then I think we should regard
that as an optimization problem, not a reason to change the user
interface.
> I don't want to turn that off.
You could quite easily turn it back on:
(add-hook 'occur-mode-hook 'font-lock-mode)
That could even be the default. And if resource consumption is a
problem, then we should be able to trim down font-lock.el such that if a
mode implements its own `font-lock-fontify-region' function, all the
regexp and other machinery wouldn't be loaded.
Honestly I really don't understand the objections to this.

Perhaps so, but others do.
There (apparently) are people who (1) don't want font-locking in the
`traditional' sense, but (2) do want special buffers fontified. I think
if you want your proposal to fly, you have to at least try to cater to
this group, in some way more convenient than making them stick calls to
`font-lock-mode' in all of their mode hooks.

Ok, then I was mistaken about how things worked -- I read Richard's
comment to mean that you were adding non-face properties to the text,
and then using the normal font-lock engine to convert these into face
properties (this the inefficiency I alluded to, not the cost of loading
font-lock.el).

Just to give you more insight about the efficiency and resource
consumption: these issues popped up several time in the past, and IIRC
the problems uncovered by people who tinkered with and profiled the
relevant code were such that trimming font-lock.el would not solve
them. For example, in some cases the syntactic fontification causes
Emacs to perform long searches (to find the beginning of a syntactic
entity), and thus slows down redisplay in large buffers, since
font-lock is run by hooks provided by the display engine.
I suggest to search the archives of emacs-devel for related keywords,
if you are interested in the details.
(I'm not saying that I'm for or against the proposal you put forward.
I just commented on something that seems to be related to this
discussion.)

I agree with Colin. The user interface should improve, and
"improvement" translates to "easy to explain" and "easy to use" and
"flexible if needed" -- IMHO, of course. Colin's idea of enabling or
disabling all of font-lock in one go, and even enabling font-lock by
default is the right way to go: Easier to explain to newbies, easy to
use for newbies, flexible for oldbies. The explanation is: M-x
font-lock toggles fontification as a whole. Font-lock is just one
part of it.
Perhaps we should rephrase the proposal as follows: M-x
toggle-global-fontification will toggle all fontifications, including
font-lock.
In fact the only people suffering will be oldbies that have font-lock
switched off and still like fontification in some buffers (people such
as Richard, apparently). My personal experience in supporting newbies
is that all want to switch font-lock on. Those that did not do this,
usually worked on the console, so they did not benefit from fontified
some buffers.
I think the group of people suffering due to Colin's change is small,
and it knows elisp, so they will be able to customize Emacs to do
their bidding. Thus the damage is small, and the benefit is big. I
think the user interface to fontification should be simplified.
Alex.

Especially when one considers that these "special" buffers could quite
legitimately later be extended to be real modes;
They ARE real modes. What is special about them is that the text is
generated by Emacs. If we extend these modes, which may happen,
that basic fact won't change.
Here is a proposal:
* M-x font-lock-mode will enable and disable fontification in any
buffer.
* font-lock-mode, when enabled, will not always use the mechanism in
font-lock.el. In special buffers, it will just set a flag that
directs the mechanism to insert faces when constructing the text.
* global-font-lock-mode, when enabled, will cause use of
fontification in all buffers that can do it. In each buffer,
it will work as if M-x font-lock had been enabled; which means,
therefore, that special buffers will do it directly, while others
will use font-lock.el.
* When global-font-lock-mode is not enabled, there will be two
possible alternatives for which buffers to fontify: special buffers
only, or no buffers.
The defaults will be that global-font-lock-mode is not enabled
and fontification is for special buffers only.
This should satisfy all of us who have said anything about the
issue. Does it?

This is the main goal, and I would be happy if we could achieve this.

The disadvantage with this approach is that the user couldn't toggle
fontification on and off by typing 'M-x font-lock-mode' in a special
buffer; they would have to regenerate the buffer text (e.g. by typing
'g' in an *Occur* buffer).
This is an inconsistency that we are apparently introducing for
performance reasons. While I don't like that, I accept your decision,
because we could quite easily later change the implementation mechanism
to support toggling fontification independently of the construction of
buffer text. The important part is to standardize on the interface.
> This should satisfy all of us who have said anything about the

Besides the above issue (which is not entirely crucial), I think your
proposal is good.

There could be a `font-lock-refontify-function' variable that such modes
set, which `font-lock-mode' would call if necessary to refontify the
buffer.
Then the interface will seem to work consistently for users, but special
modes can avoid the overhead of the font-lock engine if they desire.

Ok, That might be one way to optimize things, if it turns out to be
necessary.

OK. I have thought about this issue a lot more carefully.
Richard: I have changed my mind with regards to your proposal. I first
actually wrote a patch which implemented things the way you suggested.
But from a user perspective, things still wouldn't be consistent,
because typing 'M-x font-lock-mode' wouldn't always do the Right Thing
in special buffers. So we might as well have kept the status quo.
I believe your original objection to my approach was that loading
font-lock.el was a lot of overhead. I have addressed this in the
attached patch, by creating a "font-core.el".
Miles: You objected to putting special text properties on the buffer
text, and then fontifying on them later, correct? Unfortunately this is
the only way I can think of to implement fontification for special
buffers, such that typing M-x font-lock-mode will always do the Right
Thing. I believe I can optimize this such that the mode's
`font-lock-fontify-region' function is only called *once*. This should
minimize the overhead. I don't think this will actually be very slow at
all, anyways. Text properties are quite fast. Or we could solve this
issue the way you suggest above. So this should not be a problem.
One other issue that came up was that special modes wouldn't be
fontified by default. I have solved this in a simple way; we add
`font-lock-mode' to the default value of the mode's hooks. This allows
a user to customize fontification in a clean way. If a user *doesn't*
want those modes fontified, they can
(remove-hook 'foo-mode-hook 'font-lock-mode)
Let me restate things in terms of advantages and disadvantages:
Advantages:
* From a user perspective, the attached patch doesn't change anything at
all, except that typing M-x font-lock-mode will now suddenly work in
special modes like Occur; if we decide to put this patch in, then I will
change Info and all the other modes to support it.
* The memory impact should be quite small, since we only load
font-core.el for special modes.
Disadvantages:
* Fontification of special buffers may take a bit longer. I personally
don't believe the difference will be noticeable. If it is (and I
haven't noticed any slowdown), I will work on making it faster.
In this patch, most of the changes are moved functions. See the entries
for font-core.el to see what (little) code was actually changed.

-;;; Global Font Lock mode.
-
-;; A few people have hassled in the past for a way to make it easier to turn on
-;; Font Lock mode, without the user needing to know for which modes s/he has to
-;; turn it on, perhaps the same way hilit19.el/hl319.el does. I've always
-;; balked at that way, as I see it as just re-moulding the same problem in
-;; another form. That is; some person would still have to keep track of which
-;; modes (which may not even be distributed with Emacs) support Font Lock mode.
-;; The list would always be out of date. And that person might have to be me.
-
-;; Implementation.
-;;
-;; In a previous discussion the following hack came to mind. It is a gross
-;; hack, but it generally works. We use the convention that major modes start
-;; by calling the function `kill-all-local-variables', which in turn runs
-;; functions on the hook variable `change-major-mode-hook'. We attach our
-;; function `font-lock-change-major-mode' to that hook. Of course, when this
-;; hook is run, the major mode is in the process of being changed and we do not
-;; know what the final major mode will be. So, `font-lock-change-major-mode'
-;; only (a) notes the name of the current buffer, and (b) adds our function
-;; `turn-on-font-lock-if-enabled' to the hook variables `find-file-hooks' and
-;; `post-command-hook' (for buffers that are not visiting files). By the time
-;; the functions on the first of these hooks to be run are run, the new major
-;; mode is assumed to be in place. This way we get a Font Lock function run
-;; when a major mode is turned on, without knowing major modes or their hooks.
-;;
-;; Naturally this requires that (a) major modes run `kill-all-local-variables',
-;; as they are supposed to do, and (b) the major mode is in place after the
-;; file is visited or the command that ran `kill-all-local-variables' has
-;; finished, whichever the sooner. Arguably, any major mode that does not
-;; follow the convension (a) is broken, and I can't think of any reason why (b)
-;; would not be met (except `gnudoit' on non-files). However, it is not clean.
-;;
-;; Probably the cleanest solution is to have each major mode function run some
-;; hook, e.g., `major-mode-hook', but maybe implementing that change is
-;; impractical. I am personally against making `setq' a macro or be advised,
-;; or have a special function such as `set-major-mode', but maybe someone can
-;; come up with another solution?
-
-;; User interface.
-;;
-;; Although Global Font Lock mode is a pseudo-mode, I think that the user
-;; interface should conform to the usual Emacs convention for modes, i.e., a
-;; command to toggle the feature (`global-font-lock-mode') with a variable for
-;; finer control of the mode's behaviour (`font-lock-global-modes').
-;;
-;; The feature should not be enabled by loading font-lock.el, since other
-;; mechanisms for turning on Font Lock mode, such as M-x font-lock-mode RET or
-;; (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock), would cause Font Lock mode to be
-;; turned on everywhere. That would not be intuitive or informative because
-;; loading a file tells you nothing about the feature or how to control it. It
-;; would also be contrary to the Principle of Least Surprise. sm.

-;;; Fontification functions.
-;; Rather than the function, e.g., `font-lock-fontify-region' containing the
-;; code to fontify a region, the function runs the function whose name is the
-;; value of the variable, e.g., `font-lock-fontify-region-function'. Normally,
-;; the value of this variable is, e.g., `font-lock-default-fontify-region'
-;; which does contain the code to fontify a region. However, the value of the
-;; variable could be anything and thus, e.g., `font-lock-fontify-region' could
-;; do anything. The indirection of the fontification functions gives major
-;; modes the capability of modifying the way font-lock.el fontifies. Major
-;; modes can modify the values of, e.g., `font-lock-fontify-region-function',
-;; via the variable `font-lock-defaults'.
-;;
-;; For example, Rmail mode sets the variable `font-lock-defaults' so that
-;; font-lock.el uses its own function for buffer fontification. This function
-;; makes fontification be on a message-by-message basis and so visiting an
-;; RMAIL file is much faster. A clever implementation of the function might
-;; fontify the headers differently than the message body. (It should, and
-;; correspondingly for Mail mode, but I can't be bothered to do the work. Can
-;; you?) This hints at a more interesting use...
-;;
-;; Languages that contain text normally contained in different major modes
-;; could define their own fontification functions that treat text differently
-;; depending on its context. For example, Perl mode could arrange that here
-;; docs are fontified differently than Perl code. Or Yacc mode could fontify
-;; rules one way and C code another. Neat!
-;;
-;; A further reason to use the fontification indirection feature is when the
-;; default syntactual fontification, or the default fontification in general,
-;; is not flexible enough for a particular major mode. For example, perhaps
-;; comments are just too hairy for `font-lock-fontify-syntactically-region' to
-;; cope with. You need to write your own version of that function, e.g.,
-;; `hairy-fontify-syntactically-region', and make your own version of
-;; `hairy-fontify-region' call that function before calling
-;; `font-lock-fontify-keywords-region' for the normal regexp fontification
-;; pass. And Hairy mode would set `font-lock-defaults' so that font-lock.el
-;; would call your region fontification function instead of its own. For
-;; example, TeX modes could fontify {\foo ...} and \bar{...} etc. multi-line
-;; directives correctly and cleanly. (It is the same problem as fontifying
-;; multi-line strings and comments; regexps are not appropriate for the job.)

+
+When Font Lock mode is enabled, text is fontified as you type it:

+You can enable Font Lock mode in any major mode automatically by turning on in
+the major mode's hook. For example, put in your ~/.emacs:
+
+ (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
+
+Alternatively, you can use Global Font Lock mode to automagically turn on Font

+major modes support different levels of fontification, you can use the variable
+`font-lock-maximum-decoration' to specify which level you generally prefer.
+When you turn Font Lock mode on/off the buffer is fontified/defontified, though
+fontification occurs only if the buffer is less than `font-lock-maximum-size'.
+
+For example, to specify that Font Lock mode use use Lazy Lock mode as a support
+mode and use maximum levels of fontification, put in your ~/.emacs:
+
+ (setq font-lock-support-mode 'lazy-lock-mode)
+ (setq font-lock-maximum-decoration t)
+
+To add your own highlighting for some major mode, and modify the highlighting
+selected automatically via the variable `font-lock-maximum-decoration', you can
+use `font-lock-add-keywords'.
+
+To fontify a buffer, without turning on Font Lock mode and regardless of buffer
+size, you can use \\[font-lock-fontify-buffer].
+
+To fontify a block (the function or paragraph containing point, or a number of
+lines around point), perhaps because modification on the current line caused
+syntactic change on other lines, you can use \\[font-lock-fontify-block].

+;; modes (which may not even be distributed with Emacs) support Font Lock mode.
+;; The list would always be out of date. And that person might have to be me.
+
+;; Implementation.
+;;
+;; In a previous discussion the following hack came to mind. It is a gross
+;; hack, but it generally works. We use the convention that major modes start
+;; by calling the function `kill-all-local-variables', which in turn runs
+;; functions on the hook variable `change-major-mode-hook'. We attach our
+;; function `font-lock-change-major-mode' to that hook. Of course, when this
+;; hook is run, the major mode is in the process of being changed and we do not
+;; know what the final major mode will be. So, `font-lock-change-major-mode'
+;; only (a) notes the name of the current buffer, and (b) adds our function
+;; `turn-on-font-lock-if-enabled' to the hook variables `find-file-hooks' and
+;; `post-command-hook' (for buffers that are not visiting files). By the time
+;; the functions on the first of these hooks to be run are run, the new major
+;; mode is assumed to be in place. This way we get a Font Lock function run
+;; when a major mode is turned on, without knowing major modes or their hooks.
+;;
+;; Naturally this requires that (a) major modes run `kill-all-local-variables',
+;; as they are supposed to do, and (b) the major mode is in place after the
+;; file is visited or the command that ran `kill-all-local-variables' has
+;; finished, whichever the sooner. Arguably, any major mode that does not
+;; follow the convension (a) is broken, and I can't think of any reason why (b)
+;; would not be met (except `gnudoit' on non-files). However, it is not clean.
+;;
+;; Probably the cleanest solution is to have each major mode function run some
+;; hook, e.g., `major-mode-hook', but maybe implementing that change is
+;; impractical. I am personally against making `setq' a macro or be advised,

+;; which does contain the code to fontify a region. However, the value of the
+;; variable could be anything and thus, e.g., `font-lock-fontify-region' could
+;; do anything. The indirection of the fontification functions gives major
+;; modes the capability of modifying the way font-lock.el fontifies. Major
+;; modes can modify the values of, e.g., `font-lock-fontify-region-function',
+;; via the variable `font-lock-defaults'.
+;;
+;; For example, Rmail mode sets the variable `font-lock-defaults' so that
+;; font-lock.el uses its own function for buffer fontification. This function
+;; makes fontification be on a message-by-message basis and so visiting an
+;; RMAIL file is much faster. A clever implementation of the function might
+;; fontify the headers differently than the message body. (It should, and
+;; correspondingly for Mail mode, but I can't be bothered to do the work. Can
+;; you?) This hints at a more interesting use...
+;;
+;; Languages that contain text normally contained in different major modes
+;; could define their own fontification functions that treat text differently
+;; depending on its context. For example, Perl mode could arrange that here
+;; docs are fontified differently than Perl code. Or Yacc mode could fontify
+;; rules one way and C code another. Neat!
+;;
+;; A further reason to use the fontification indirection feature is when the
+;; default syntactual fontification, or the default fontification in general,
+;; is not flexible enough for a particular major mode. For example, perhaps
+;; comments are just too hairy for `font-lock-fontify-syntactically-region' to
+;; cope with. You need to write your own version of that function, e.g.,
+;; `hairy-fontify-syntactically-region', and make your own version of
+;; `hairy-fontify-region' call that function before calling
+;; `font-lock-fontify-keywords-region' for the normal regexp fontification
+;; pass. And Hairy mode would set `font-lock-defaults' so that font-lock.el
+;; would call your region fontification function instead of its own. For
+;; example, TeX modes could fontify {\foo ...} and \bar{...} etc. multi-line

First of all, I think you're being overly aggressive about all this --
the status quo is _not a problem_. The mailing lists are not
overflowing with bug reports about this issue, and I have yet to hear a
single clamor.
If we decide to adopt a generalized font-lock user interface, and it
satisfies all the objections made, it really doesn't matter if some
special modes take a while to be adapted to it. More consistency is
usually a good thing, especially when it's easy to do, but there's
really no need for immediate 100% coverage in this case.
For special modes that add currently add face properties to directly the
buffer, and which might have a hard time implementing an on-demand
`font-lock-refontify-function' (perhaps they don't maintain enough
context), why not just add a variable that tells the redisplay engine to
ignore face properties for the buffer (it should probably keep paying
attention to overlays)? That'd make the whole thing trivial in many
cases.

And then M-x font-lock-mode would toggle that variable? I can't think
of a flaw in that solution. Yes; I definitely like this idea more than
my patch.
The only problem really is that portable code wouldn't be able to use
it. That's probably not a big deal.
I will try to implement this.

The biggest flaw that I can think of is that many modes use overlays to
add faces, and I'm not sure if it's a good idea to turn them off.

-;;; Global Font Lock mode.
-
-;; A few people have hassled in the past for a way to make it easier to turn on
-;; Font Lock mode, without the user needing to know for which modes s/he has to
-;; turn it on, perhaps the same way hilit19.el/hl319.el does. I've always
-;; balked at that way, as I see it as just re-moulding the same problem in
-;; another form. That is; some person would still have to keep track of which
-;; modes (which may not even be distributed with Emacs) support Font Lock mode.
-;; The list would always be out of date. And that person might have to be me.
-
-;; Implementation.
-;;
-;; In a previous discussion the following hack came to mind. It is a gross
-;; hack, but it generally works. We use the convention that major modes start
-;; by calling the function `kill-all-local-variables', which in turn runs
-;; functions on the hook variable `change-major-mode-hook'. We attach our
-;; function `font-lock-change-major-mode' to that hook. Of course, when this
-;; hook is run, the major mode is in the process of being changed and we do not
-;; know what the final major mode will be. So, `font-lock-change-major-mode'
-;; only (a) notes the name of the current buffer, and (b) adds our function
-;; `turn-on-font-lock-if-enabled' to the hook variables `find-file-hooks' and
-;; `post-command-hook' (for buffers that are not visiting files). By the time
-;; the functions on the first of these hooks to be run are run, the new major
-;; mode is assumed to be in place. This way we get a Font Lock function run
-;; when a major mode is turned on, without knowing major modes or their hooks.
-;;
-;; Naturally this requires that (a) major modes run `kill-all-local-variables',
-;; as they are supposed to do, and (b) the major mode is in place after the
-;; file is visited or the command that ran `kill-all-local-variables' has
-;; finished, whichever the sooner. Arguably, any major mode that does not
-;; follow the convension (a) is broken, and I can't think of any reason why (b)
-;; would not be met (except `gnudoit' on non-files). However, it is not clean.
-;;
-;; Probably the cleanest solution is to have each major mode function run some
-;; hook, e.g., `major-mode-hook', but maybe implementing that change is
-;; impractical. I am personally against making `setq' a macro or be advised,
-;; or have a special function such as `set-major-mode', but maybe someone can
-;; come up with another solution?
-
-;; User interface.
-;;
-;; Although Global Font Lock mode is a pseudo-mode, I think that the user
-;; interface should conform to the usual Emacs convention for modes, i.e., a
-;; command to toggle the feature (`global-font-lock-mode') with a variable for
-;; finer control of the mode's behaviour (`font-lock-global-modes').
-;;
-;; The feature should not be enabled by loading font-lock.el, since other
-;; mechanisms for turning on Font Lock mode, such as M-x font-lock-mode RET or
-;; (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock), would cause Font Lock mode to be
-;; turned on everywhere. That would not be intuitive or informative because
-;; loading a file tells you nothing about the feature or how to control it. It
-;; would also be contrary to the Principle of Least Surprise. sm.

-;;; Fontification functions.
-;; Rather than the function, e.g., `font-lock-fontify-region' containing the
-;; code to fontify a region, the function runs the function whose name is the
-;; value of the variable, e.g., `font-lock-fontify-region-function'. Normally,
-;; the value of this variable is, e.g., `font-lock-default-fontify-region'
-;; which does contain the code to fontify a region. However, the value of the
-;; variable could be anything and thus, e.g., `font-lock-fontify-region' could
-;; do anything. The indirection of the fontification functions gives major
-;; modes the capability of modifying the way font-lock.el fontifies. Major
-;; modes can modify the values of, e.g., `font-lock-fontify-region-function',
-;; via the variable `font-lock-defaults'.
-;;
-;; For example, Rmail mode sets the variable `font-lock-defaults' so that
-;; font-lock.el uses its own function for buffer fontification. This function
-;; makes fontification be on a message-by-message basis and so visiting an
-;; RMAIL file is much faster. A clever implementation of the function might
-;; fontify the headers differently than the message body. (It should, and
-;; correspondingly for Mail mode, but I can't be bothered to do the work. Can
-;; you?) This hints at a more interesting use...
-;;
-;; Languages that contain text normally contained in different major modes
-;; could define their own fontification functions that treat text differently
-;; depending on its context. For example, Perl mode could arrange that here
-;; docs are fontified differently than Perl code. Or Yacc mode could fontify
-;; rules one way and C code another. Neat!
-;;
-;; A further reason to use the fontification indirection feature is when the
-;; default syntactual fontification, or the default fontification in general,
-;; is not flexible enough for a particular major mode. For example, perhaps
-;; comments are just too hairy for `font-lock-fontify-syntactically-region' to
-;; cope with. You need to write your own version of that function, e.g.,
-;; `hairy-fontify-syntactically-region', and make your own version of
-;; `hairy-fontify-region' call that function before calling
-;; `font-lock-fontify-keywords-region' for the normal regexp fontification
-;; pass. And Hairy mode would set `font-lock-defaults' so that font-lock.el
-;; would call your region fontification function instead of its own. For
-;; example, TeX modes could fontify {\foo ...} and \bar{...} etc. multi-line
-;; directives correctly and cleanly. (It is the same problem as fontifying
-;; multi-line strings and comments; regexps are not appropriate for the job.)

+Typical values are `beginning-of-line' (i.e., the start of the line is known to

+
+ (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
+
+Alternatively, you can use Global Font Lock mode to automagically turn on Font
+Lock mode in buffers whose major mode supports it and whose major mode is one

+ (global-font-lock-mode t)
+
+There are a number of support modes that may be used to speed up Font Lock mode
+in various ways, specified via the variable `font-lock-support-mode'. Where
+major modes support different levels of fontification, you can use the variable
+`font-lock-maximum-decoration' to specify which level you generally prefer.
+When you turn Font Lock mode on/off the buffer is fontified/defontified, though
+fontification occurs only if the buffer is less than `font-lock-maximum-size'.
+
+For example, to specify that Font Lock mode use use Lazy Lock mode as a support
+mode and use maximum levels of fontification, put in your ~/.emacs:
+
+ (setq font-lock-support-mode 'lazy-lock-mode)
+ (setq font-lock-maximum-decoration t)
+
+To add your own highlighting for some major mode, and modify the highlighting
+selected automatically via the variable `font-lock-maximum-decoration', you can
+use `font-lock-add-keywords'.
+
+To fontify a buffer, without turning on Font Lock mode and regardless of buffer
+size, you can use \\[font-lock-fontify-buffer].
+
+To fontify a block (the function or paragraph containing point, or a number of
+lines around point), perhaps because modification on the current line caused
+syntactic change on other lines, you can use \\[font-lock-fontify-block].
+
+See the variable `font-lock-defaults-alist' for the Font Lock mode default

+;;; Global Font Lock mode.
+
+;; A few people have hassled in the past for a way to make it easier to turn on
+;; Font Lock mode, without the user needing to know for which modes s/he has to
+;; turn it on, perhaps the same way hilit19.el/hl319.el does. I've always
+;; balked at that way, as I see it as just re-moulding the same problem in
+;; another form. That is; some person would still have to keep track of which
+;; modes (which may not even be distributed with Emacs) support Font Lock mode.
+;; The list would always be out of date. And that person might have to be me.
+
+;; Implementation.
+;;
+;; In a previous discussion the following hack came to mind. It is a gross
+;; hack, but it generally works. We use the convention that major modes start
+;; by calling the function `kill-all-local-variables', which in turn runs
+;; functions on the hook variable `change-major-mode-hook'. We attach our
+;; function `font-lock-change-major-mode' to that hook. Of course, when this
+;; hook is run, the major mode is in the process of being changed and we do not
+;; know what the final major mode will be. So, `font-lock-change-major-mode'
+;; only (a) notes the name of the current buffer, and (b) adds our function
+;; `turn-on-font-lock-if-enabled' to the hook variables `find-file-hooks' and
+;; `post-command-hook' (for buffers that are not visiting files). By the time
+;; the functions on the first of these hooks to be run are run, the new major
+;; mode is assumed to be in place. This way we get a Font Lock function run
+;; when a major mode is turned on, without knowing major modes or their hooks.
+;;
+;; Naturally this requires that (a) major modes run `kill-all-local-variables',
+;; as they are supposed to do, and (b) the major mode is in place after the
+;; file is visited or the command that ran `kill-all-local-variables' has
+;; finished, whichever the sooner. Arguably, any major mode that does not
+;; follow the convension (a) is broken, and I can't think of any reason why (b)
+;; would not be met (except `gnudoit' on non-files). However, it is not clean.
+;;
+;; Probably the cleanest solution is to have each major mode function run some
+;; hook, e.g., `major-mode-hook', but maybe implementing that change is
+;; impractical. I am personally against making `setq' a macro or be advised,
+;; or have a special function such as `set-major-mode', but maybe someone can
+;; come up with another solution?
+
+;; User interface.
+;;
+;; Although Global Font Lock mode is a pseudo-mode, I think that the user
+;; interface should conform to the usual Emacs convention for modes, i.e., a
+;; command to toggle the feature (`global-font-lock-mode') with a variable for
+;; finer control of the mode's behaviour (`font-lock-global-modes').
+;;
+;; The feature should not be enabled by loading font-lock.el, since other
+;; mechanisms for turning on Font Lock mode, such as M-x font-lock-mode RET or
+;; (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock), would cause Font Lock mode to be

+;; which does contain the code to fontify a region. However, the value of the
+;; variable could be anything and thus, e.g., `font-lock-fontify-region' could
+;; do anything. The indirection of the fontification functions gives major
+;; modes the capability of modifying the way font-lock.el fontifies. Major
+;; modes can modify the values of, e.g., `font-lock-fontify-region-function',
+;; via the variable `font-lock-defaults'.
+;;
+;; For example, Rmail mode sets the variable `font-lock-defaults' so that
+;; font-lock.el uses its own function for buffer fontification. This function
+;; makes fontification be on a message-by-message basis and so visiting an
+;; RMAIL file is much faster. A clever implementation of the function might
+;; fontify the headers differently than the message body. (It should, and
+;; correspondingly for Mail mode, but I can't be bothered to do the work. Can
+;; you?) This hints at a more interesting use...
+;;
+;; Languages that contain text normally contained in different major modes
+;; could define their own fontification functions that treat text differently
+;; depending on its context. For example, Perl mode could arrange that here
+;; docs are fontified differently than Perl code. Or Yacc mode could fontify
+;; rules one way and C code another. Neat!
+;;
+;; A further reason to use the fontification indirection feature is when the
+;; default syntactual fontification, or the default fontification in general,
+;; is not flexible enough for a particular major mode. For example, perhaps
+;; comments are just too hairy for `font-lock-fontify-syntactically-region' to
+;; cope with. You need to write your own version of that function, e.g.,
+;; `hairy-fontify-syntactically-region', and make your own version of
+;; `hairy-fontify-region' call that function before calling
+;; `font-lock-fontify-keywords-region' for the normal regexp fontification
+;; pass. And Hairy mode would set `font-lock-defaults' so that font-lock.el
+;; would call your region fontification function instead of its own. For
+;; example, TeX modes could fontify {\foo ...} and \bar{...} etc. multi-line

Right; all the Emacs and XEmacs users I personally know have enabled
font-lock globally.
I'd be very surprised to know a new Emacs user that does not want
colours.
I expect only very experienced users having enough understanding of the
user interface to have preferences whether they want colours in certain
buffers or not. The big majority would be content with colours.

That matches my experience: I did look for such a user, but have yet to

I don't like it because I don't like moving code around gratuitously
and because it looks like a might large "core".
I'd much rather create a new minor mode `syntax-highlight-mode' which
uses the variable `syntax-highlight-mode-function' (which defaults
to font-lock-mode) to turn the mode on/off.
Or something like that. I'd probably prefer for this minor mode to be like
global-font-lock-mode rather than like font-lock-mode.
Or maybe global-font-lock-mode could be moved to simple.el and
extended to obey a variable like `syntax-highlight-mode-function'.

The disadvantage with this approach is that the user couldn't toggle
fontification on and off by typing 'M-x font-lock-mode' in a special
buffer; they would have to regenerate the buffer text (e.g. by typing
'g' in an *Occur* buffer).
M-x font-lock-mode in these buffers could also revert,
so as to reconstruct the text with or without faces.
That is much simpler and much cleaner than the font-core alternative.
It fits the problem exactly.

An example of where this won't work is with an *Occur* buffer, if the
user just wants to temporarily turn on/off fontification, but has killed
the associated buffer(s). The occur command will fail in this case.
A somewhat similar situation could happen with a *Kill Ring* buffer; if
the user has done more killing before typing M-x font-lock-mode, then
the entry they want to see unfontified could have been rotated off the
kill ring.

I can make the core quite a bit smaller, actually. The reason so many
functions were moved there is they were necessary in the approach taken
by my first patch. In fact, I think all that's needed there is the
definition of the `font-lock-mode' function itself, plus one or two
variables. Would that be small enough?
As for your other proposals, I will need to think about them.

If that's the case, maybe just moving them to simple.el would be
preferable to adding a separate font-core.el file?

Both of my previous patches do not change the defaults at all.
The only difference is that typing 'M-x font-lock-mode' in special
buffers (after we adapt them) starts to Just Work.

That is a good point. There needs to be a way for these modes to
specify how to add and remove fonts in the buffer.
But these should not have to use the whole font-lock-mode mechanism,
even if they use M-x font-lock-mode as a control interface to enable
and disable. It should be possible to specify other functions
to do the job.
The easiest way to implement these functions will often be to use
a category property. Then these functions can simply change the
properties of the category, and faces will appear or disappear all thru
the buffer.
In fact, it might make sense to have a buffer-local variable
font-lock-category-alist whose elements look like (CATEGORY-SYMBOL .
FACE-PROP). If that is non-nil, turning on font-lock-mode just does
(dolist (elt font-lock-category-alist)
(put (car elt) 'face (cdr elt)))
and turning it off just does
(dolist (elt font-lock-category-alist)
(put (car elt) 'face nil))

Ok. I have a suggestion. Currently, the only modes I can think of
included with Emacs where typing M-x font-lock-mode twice doesn't work
are Info and shell-mode (can anyone think of any others?). So, would
anyone object if I changed them to use a `font-lock-fontify-region'
function? Then the goal of having every mode use 'M-x font-lock-mode'
as an interface to enabling and disabling fontification would be
complete.
All of the other suggestions so far were optimizations, either in time
or memory space. This may simply not turn out to be necessary;
Searching for text properties is quite fast, and almost every mode now
uses font-lock.el for fontification anyways. If they do turn out to be
necessary, then we can figure out what the best way to speed things up
and reduce memory usage is.
On a different but tangentially related topic, are there any guesses for
when 21.4 might be out? If it's going to be (say) two weeks or less,
then maybe it would be better to defer these changes until 21.5 or
after.

This is a nice abstract goal, but it doesn't seem important enough to
even pay the small unnecessary overhead of font-lock.
If you're so bothered by these exceptions to the `rule', why not just do
it right, and implement one of the simpler suggestions made recently
(e.g., have font-lock check for a buffer-local variable holding a
function to do the work of turning on or off fontification, which
defaults to the current font-lock)?

There's no chance v21.4 will be released that soon, since it didn't
even enter the pretest phase yet.
The next release will be 21.3, which will be made from the RC branch
and will be a bugfix-only release. I hope to make the first pretest
of 21.3 this weekend.

That depends on some details of what changes you have in mind.
Would you please explain more clearly what that change would imply?
What would the user-visible consequences be? Would it mean that these
modes load font-lock.el in order to do fontification?
Could you do this by moving a minimal amount of the font-lock API into
a preloaded file, so that this will NOT require use of the font-lock
*mechanism* or loading font-lock?
All of the other suggestions so far were optimizations, either in time
or memory space. This may simply not turn out to be necessary;

This approach says "fall down a long ways, and then think about
climbing up." Sorry, I don't think this approach is acceptable.
I already made that decision; please don't keep proposing it.

This solution is genius! I didn't understand it at all at first, so I
sort of deferred trying to implement it, but after discovering the
`category' text property in the elisp manual it made sense.
Please find attached a patch which implements it, and changes Info,
shell (via comint), occur, and ibuffer to use it.
I believe this patch addresses everyone's issues. In particular,
font-core.el is very small, and it is efficient (no runtime searching
for text properties).
Really, I think info.el should be changed to use a
`font-lock-fontify-region' function; `Info-fontify-maximum-menu-size'
could then just go away.

-If SYNTAX-ALIST is non-nil, it should be a list of cons pairs of the form

-If SYNTAX-BEGIN is non-nil, it should be a function with no args used to move

-Typical values are `beginning-of-line' (i.e., the start of the line is known to

The changes to comint, at least, are not correct (did you test them?).
Please just leave that unchanged, and I'll deal with it as soon as
any change to the core code gets checked in.

Yes, I did; I'm running a `shell' with the changes now. What problems

There are a few problems (these are based on examination, since I don't
want to apply all those changes):
1) The prompt face on the `active' prompt doesn't properly interact
with input (that is, if the prompt is extended because the process
outputs more, it should get the prompt face, but something the user
types shouldn't inherit it). You can see this by doing something
like: `for x in 1 2 3 4 5; do echo -n $x; sleep 1; done' and then
typing while it's outputting.
2) The prompt face incorrectly gets left on non-prompt output text if
the output occurs in multiple chunks where the first one doesn't
end with a newline (e.g., try `echo -n hello; sleep 1; echo world').
3) The name of one of the categories is wrong -- `comint-sent-output'
is used on input!
[and also ....
4) The changes appear rather shoehorned in; if comint is going to be
changed to use text properties instead of overlays (and I think it
should be, now that cutting and pasting discards `field' properties),
it ought to be done properly.

Yeah, I agree. The main goal with the changes to comint.el was to prove
the concept.

Incidentally, I notice what seems to be a big problem with this method
(using `category' properties) -- properties are not buffer local, so
just adding or removing `face' properties will affect every buffer that
uses the same categories.
You could cons up unique symbols for each buffer, but that would
probably eliminate the simplicity of this approach...

Well, since categories are just symbols, we use the usual elisp
technique to avoid namespace clashes: a (hopefully) unique prefix. All
the occur category symbols start with `occur-', all the ibuffer ones
start with `ibuffer-', etc.
Doesn't this solve the problem, or is there something I'm missing?

They're not buffer local.
font-lock is supposed to turn on or off faces in the _current buffer_.
With your current code, doing `M-x font-lock' in, say, a shell buffer,
will turn on or off faces in _every_ shell buffer (because they all
use the same category properties).

I think it would be quite hard to make categories buffer local if you
keep the same programmer interface, because they are just ordinary
symbol properties, and there's no concept of context for those.

Ok, I see. That is indeed a very big problem. Hmmm.
My first thought was to make the symbol plist buffer-local if its
variable value is buffer-local, but that's bound to break something...
I'll need to think about this some more; the best solution is not
obvious to me.

What would it take to make categories buffer local ?
At least, it seems (without having looked at the code lately) an order
of magnitude simpler than making faces buffer local...

It will add a little complexity, but it is still simpler
than the alternatives.
