I thought I was the only one who could muster so many typos in so few
lines.  BTW, the docstring should be more radical without reference to
internal functions like font-lock-set-defaults, as in "Restart,
recomputing everything from scratch" and then explain that it's
typically used to let font-lock react to external changes in variables
like font-lock-defaults and keywords.
