Everywhere in the buffer.

Do I get it correctly that it's better than my solution (basically,
(syntax-propertize (point-max))) because it is faster for large buffer
("lazy smilification";-))?

And "calling in each buffer" will probably mean installing it in the
hook for modes I want it to work in.

(BTW, I love the fact that in the above sentence the closing paren of
the smiley is /not/ treated as the counterpart of the opening paren at
the beginning of the line.  Now that smileys start to "work" for me, I'm
going to use them more often :-) :-) ;-P).
