I'm sorry, but you lost me: what "more advanced forms of debugging"?
And in which way would my suggestion make it more difficult: in order to
add a new possible value to `font-lock-support-mode` you'd have to
modify `font-lock.el` or use advice anyway, which you can do just as
well without `font-lock-support-mode`.

Great joke.

What power are you talking about?
