I am not sure what problems those are. There were so many messages
yesterday that just reading them would take a long time. I hoped to
bypass that job by asking you to summarize the result of all that
discussion.
I thought I did that in the message prior to the one you responded to.
>From that message:
Other than that, the major remaining issue is that calling
font-lock-{add,remove}-keywords with nil for MODE only works reliably
for major modes that follow the new conventions. But one of your
previous comments was:
(Even in this case
it is only likely to occur for major modes that do not follow the new
conventions.)
In that case, maybe it is a fine solution to tell people to fix their
major modes. Why go to a lot of trouble about broken major modes?
In addition to that, there would be a problem with major modes that do
follow the conventions but call font-lock-{add,remove}-keywords with
nil for MODE in their body instead of their hook. Major modes are not
supposed to do that. A nil argument was not designed to be used that
way and you said:
I just looked for all the calls to font-lock-add-keywords in Emacs.
In no case does any major mode call font-lock-add-keywords directly,
or even fairly directly.
