> [I think this is silly and confusing, but font-lock is verrrrry old...] But as you know, this has proved useful for various users who wanted different font-lock-*-face in different modes: if the keywords were using quoted symbols, that would have required buffer-local faces (which we still don't have: any progress on this side?), whereas the use of the indirection through variables made it possible.
