    You misunderstood: I'm not particularly happy about either of the
    *-multiline text-properties.  I wrote both of them, but neither of them is
    satisfactory, really.

Could you write clearer documentation for them?

    Providing a hook where the font lock pattern writer can extended the
    region to refontify is imho a very straightforward way to give control
    over that aspect. I don't contend that the text properties probably
    are more suitable in many cases, though.

I think we should add that hook now.
It is simple and easy to understand.
Even if in some cases it is not a good solution,
it is a good solution part of the time.
That is enough reason.
