What I wanted to say was that your report was totally justified because
what the docstring tells about font-lock mode is a bit misleading.
Maybe hi-lock could also tell you which method of highlighting it
chooses. And maybe it would also make sense to allow using the
font-lock mode based method in modes that don't implemented font-lock,
I'm not sure.
Michael.
