Correct fontification is not important enough to be annoyed like
that. IMO, this cure is worse than the disease.

I frequently visit and edit Emacs sources with "emacs -Q", so the
annoyance will be constant for me.
Let's try to find a solution that doesn't involve unsafe values. I
hope there is such a solution; if not, I'd rather have the macro
mis-fontified than be annoyed by these questions each time I visit an
Emacs source file.
Thanks.
