Well, it doesn't exist anymore but it still works (and is used, e.g., in
c-mode) in Emacs as well (as a consequence of font-lock-mode being
defined via define-minor-mode).

There's also the problem that setting (or binding) font-lock-mode-hook
to nil prevents other (perhaps essential) functions on this hook from
running as well. So, here "to scrap" really means "to honour" ;-)
Thank you for the explanation!
