There is some duplicated code in the new font locking code I'd like to
move into its own function.  The code manipulates at least one
variable local to the function it is currently used in.  Instead of
defining a global variable for it, it would be nice to pass a
reference to the new function containing the now duplicated code.  The
new function would then manipulate the value of the variable in the
original function.  It's not a big deal, I'll probably just define the
variable globally.
