@end defvar

@defun jit-lock-register function &optional contextual
This function tells Font Lock mode to run the Lisp function
@var{function} any time it has to fontify or refontify part of the
current buffer.  It calls @var{function} before calling the default
fontification functions, and gives it two arguments, @var{start} and
@var{end}, which specify the region to be fontified or refontified.

The optional argument @var{contextual}, if non-@code{nil}, forces Font
Lock mode to always refontify a syntactically relevant part of the
buffer, and not just the modified lines.  This argument can usually be
omitted.
@end defun

@defun jit-lock-unregister function
If @var{function} was previously registered as a fontification
function using @code{jit-lock-register}, this function unregisters it.
@end defun
