Re: Copying preserves font-lock-face

[Richard Stallman <rms@gnu.org>]

    On the topic of yanking fontified text into non-font-lock buffers,
    I became annoyed when any following keyed text would inherit those
    properties, so I put this in my .emacs file:

    (defadvice yank (after rear-nonsticky activate)
       "Make all yanked text properties rear-nonsticky, unless Font Lock is on."
       (unless font-lock-mode
	 (put-text-property (region-beginning) (region-end) 'rear-nonsticky t)))

That code can't be entirely right, since the treatment of properties
not related to faces shouldn't depend on font-lock-mode.  Nonetheless,
you might be getting at a good point.  Perhaps insert-for-yank should
do this unconditionally for face properties only.

Does anyone disagree?
