I'm not too fond of that for the same reason.
I'm wondering: We already can set different face attributes depending on
DISPLAY's 'background' property, which can be 'light' or 'dark'. Say the
user is working with a 'dark' background by default, but we now detect
that one of the font-lock faces has not enough contrast when highlighted
by the region: why not simply switch to the face that is defined for
'light' background instead?
