FWIW, I'm not sure if `font-lock-update` (ether it's Paul's or the other) is really better than the old `font-lock-fontify-block`. I think they all suffer from being fundamentally "defined by their implementation" making it hard to evolve when some change is made to the font-lock machinery.
Hmmm... You said: "`font-lock-fontify-region` is an important function internally (it's the one and only function which performs font-locking, fundamentally)". Is it wrong to use it nonetheless?
I'd much prefer a longer `font-lock-fontify-diwm` which tries to reproduce more or less the same behavior as your favorite, but by explicitly testing the different circumstances you care about.
Could you perhaps give an example of such a circumstance and its corresponding action?
