CC Mode maintains a simple table of a buffer's types, which it uses to
fontify the same types when they occur again in the buffer.  Daniel's
main problem was that with JIT fontification, the occurrences of foo get
"fontified" to default face before foo has been entered into the table.
This happens because jit-lock doesn't scan the buffer from (point-min).

By "background fontification" I meant stealth fontification (and should
have said so).  This is, sadly, disabled by default.  If it were to be
enabled again, I was envisaging some sort of signal from jit-lock stealth
fontification when the stealth had determined a buffer was completely
fontified.  Reacting to this signal, CC Mode could then fontify all the
types which the stealth had caused to be added to the CC Mode table.

I no longer think this is a good idea.

Yes.  By CC Mode's fontification detecting a symbol, foo, must be a type,
and entering it into its internal table.  I am thinking that immediately
following, CC Mode could scan the entire buffer and refontify occurrences
of foo which hadn't yet got font-lock-type-face.

I was looking for jit stealth locking to detect when it had completely
fontified a buffer (i.e. the `fontified' property was on the entire
buffer) and do something like calling a major mode function.  As I said,
I don't think this is a good idea, any more.
