Moving away from define-minor-mode is also something I'd rather avoid
(so we don't have to update font-lock-mode every time we change
define-minor-mode).
Some other thoughts:
- use some trick to delay the fontification to after the minor-mode hook
is run (e.g. add to post-command-hook or something like that).
post-command-hook is not a good choice and I can't think of much
better, so maybe this is out.
- maybe it's OK to add yet another argument to define-minor-mode.
Note that an arg that says "turn off this standard thingy" (as
in :no-hook) is out of the question, since a large part of the reason
why we have define-minor-mode is to try and auto-enforce the coding
conventions of minor modes. But maybe we can have an :after-hook.
Some major modes would also appreciate such a feature, so maybe this
same arg can be added to both define-minor-mode and
define-derived-mode.
