If I knew, I'd say.
What I do know is that font-lock itself has a minimum of five
implementations (font-lock, font-lock-cache, lazy-lock, lazy-shot, and
jit-lock). Primitive highlighting has at least three interfaces
(overlays, text properties, extents). This looks like an area ripe
for consolidation, not proliferation, of APIs to me.
I also don't like the idea that semantics apparently depend on whether
a reference is an "original" or an "alias".
Thus the warning. This may be the right thing to do, but I want to
make sure that XEmacs people _discuss_ this change rather than simply
adopt it for the sake of compatibility.
