+
+;; This variable is used by mode packages that support Font Lock mode by
+;; defining their own keywords to use for `font-lock-keywords'.  (The mode
+;; command should make it buffer-local and set it to provide the set up.)
+(defvar font-lock-defaults nil
+  "Defaults for Font Lock mode specified by the major mode.
+Defaults should be of the form:
+
+ (KEYWORDS KEYWORDS-ONLY CASE-FOLD SYNTAX-ALIST SYNTAX-BEGIN ...)
+
+KEYWORDS may be a symbol (a variable or function whose value is the keywords to
+use for fontification) or a list of symbols.  If KEYWORDS-ONLY is non-nil,
+syntactic fontification (strings and comments) is not performed.
+If CASE-FOLD is non-nil, the case of the keywords is ignored when fontifying.
+If SYNTAX-ALIST is non-nil, it should be a list of cons pairs of the form
+\(CHAR-OR-STRING . STRING) used to set the local Font Lock syntax table, for
+keyword and syntactic fontification (see `modify-syntax-entry').
+
+If SYNTAX-BEGIN is non-nil, it should be a function with no args used to move
+backwards outside any enclosing syntactic block, for syntactic fontification.
+Typical values are `beginning-of-line' (i.e., the start of the line is known to
+be outside a syntactic block), or `beginning-of-defun' for programming modes or
+`backward-paragraph' for textual modes (i.e., the mode-dependent function is
+known to move outside a syntactic block).  If nil, the beginning of the buffer
+is used as a position outside of a syntactic block, in the worst case.
+
+These item elements are used by Font Lock mode to set the variables
+`font-lock-keywords', `font-lock-keywords-only',
+`font-lock-keywords-case-fold-search', `font-lock-syntax-table' and
+`font-lock-beginning-of-syntax-function', respectively.
+
+Further item elements are alists of the form (VARIABLE . VALUE) and are in no
+particular order.  Each VARIABLE is made buffer-local before set to VALUE.
+
+Currently, appropriate variables include `font-lock-mark-block-function'.
+If this is non-nil, it should be a function with no args used to mark any
+enclosing block of text, for fontification via \\[font-lock-fontify-block].
+Typical values are `mark-defun' for programming modes or `mark-paragraph' for
+textual modes (i.e., the mode-dependent function is known to put point and mark
+around a text block relevant to that mode).
+
+Other variables include that for syntactic keyword fontification,
+`font-lock-syntactic-keywords'
+and those for buffer-specialised fontification functions,
+`font-lock-fontify-buffer-function', `font-lock-unfontify-buffer-function',
+`font-lock-fontify-region-function', `font-lock-unfontify-region-function',
+`font-lock-inhibit-thing-lock' and `font-lock-maximum-size'.")

+With arg, turn Font Lock mode off if and only if arg is a non-positive
+number; if arg is nil, toggle Font Lock mode; anything else turns Font
+Lock on.
+\(Font Lock is also known as \"syntax highlighting\".)
+
+When Font Lock mode is enabled, text is fontified as you type it:
+
+ - Comments are displayed in `font-lock-comment-face';
+ - Strings are displayed in `font-lock-string-face';
+ - Certain other expressions are displayed in other faces according to the
+   value of the variable `font-lock-keywords'.
+
+To customize the faces (colors, fonts, etc.) used by Font Lock for
+fontifying different parts of buffer text, use \\[customize-face].
+
+You can enable Font Lock mode in any major mode automatically by turning on in
+the major mode's hook.  For example, put in your ~/.emacs:
+
+ (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
+
+Alternatively, you can use Global Font Lock mode to automagically turn on Font
+Lock mode in buffers whose major mode supports it and whose major mode is one
+of `font-lock-global-modes'.  For example, put in your ~/.emacs:
+
+ (global-font-lock-mode t)
+
+There are a number of support modes that may be used to speed up Font Lock mode
+in various ways, specified via the variable `font-lock-support-mode'.  Where
+major modes support different levels of fontification, you can use the variable
+`font-lock-maximum-decoration' to specify which level you generally prefer.
+When you turn Font Lock mode on/off the buffer is fontified/defontified, though
+fontification occurs only if the buffer is less than `font-lock-maximum-size'.
+
+For example, to specify that Font Lock mode use use Lazy Lock mode as a support
+mode and use maximum levels of fontification, put in your ~/.emacs:
+
+ (setq font-lock-support-mode 'lazy-lock-mode)
+ (setq font-lock-maximum-decoration t)
+
+To add your own highlighting for some major mode, and modify the highlighting
+selected automatically via the variable `font-lock-maximum-decoration', you can
+use `font-lock-add-keywords'.
+
+To fontify a buffer, without turning on Font Lock mode and regardless of buffer
+size, you can use \\[font-lock-fontify-buffer].
+
+To fontify a block (the function or paragraph containing point, or a number of
+lines around point), perhaps because modification on the current line caused
+syntactic change on other lines, you can use \\[font-lock-fontify-block].
+
+See the variable `font-lock-defaults-alist' for the Font Lock mode default
+settings.  You can set your own default settings for some mode, by setting a
+buffer local value for `font-lock-defaults', via its mode hook."

+;;; Global Font Lock mode.
+
+;; A few people have hassled in the past for a way to make it easier to turn on
+;; Font Lock mode, without the user needing to know for which modes s/he has to
+;; turn it on, perhaps the same way hilit19.el/hl319.el does.  I've always
+;; balked at that way, as I see it as just re-moulding the same problem in
+;; another form.  That is; some person would still have to keep track of which
+;; modes (which may not even be distributed with Emacs) support Font Lock mode.
+;; The list would always be out of date.  And that person might have to be me.
+
+;; Implementation.
+;;
+;; In a previous discussion the following hack came to mind.  It is a gross
+;; hack, but it generally works.  We use the convention that major modes start
+;; by calling the function `kill-all-local-variables', which in turn runs
+;; functions on the hook variable `change-major-mode-hook'.  We attach our
+;; function `font-lock-change-major-mode' to that hook.  Of course, when this
+;; hook is run, the major mode is in the process of being changed and we do not
+;; know what the final major mode will be.  So, `font-lock-change-major-mode'
+;; only (a) notes the name of the current buffer, and (b) adds our function
+;; `turn-on-font-lock-if-enabled' to the hook variables `find-file-hooks' and
+;; `post-command-hook' (for buffers that are not visiting files).  By the time
+;; the functions on the first of these hooks to be run are run, the new major
+;; mode is assumed to be in place.  This way we get a Font Lock function run
+;; when a major mode is turned on, without knowing major modes or their hooks.
+;;
+;; Naturally this requires that (a) major modes run `kill-all-local-variables',
+;; as they are supposed to do, and (b) the major mode is in place after the
+;; file is visited or the command that ran `kill-all-local-variables' has
+;; finished, whichever the sooner.  Arguably, any major mode that does not
+;; follow the convension (a) is broken, and I can't think of any reason why (b)
+;; would not be met (except `gnudoit' on non-files).  However, it is not clean.
+;;
+;; Probably the cleanest solution is to have each major mode function run some
+;; hook, e.g., `major-mode-hook', but maybe implementing that change is
+;; impractical.  I am personally against making `setq' a macro or be advised,
+;; or have a special function such as `set-major-mode', but maybe someone can
+;; come up with another solution?
+
+;; User interface.
+;;
+;; Although Global Font Lock mode is a pseudo-mode, I think that the user
+;; interface should conform to the usual Emacs convention for modes, i.e., a
+;; command to toggle the feature (`global-font-lock-mode') with a variable for
+;; finer control of the mode's behaviour (`font-lock-global-modes').
+;;
+;; The feature should not be enabled by loading font-lock.el, since other
+;; mechanisms for turning on Font Lock mode, such as M-x font-lock-mode RET or
+;; (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock), would cause Font Lock mode to be
+;; turned on everywhere.  That would not be intuitive or informative because
+;; loading a file tells you nothing about the feature or how to control it.  It
+;; would also be contrary to the Principle of Least Surprise.  sm.
