[ Cc to Jamie; Jamie, we are discussing the merits of using extents
vs. text-properties in font-lock. Perhaps you would care to
comment? ]

P.S. If I am not mistaken font-lock is origionally a lucid Emacs
thing and predates tex-properties. How did it work back then?
It only had a "syntactic" phase, so it just fontified strings and
comments. I'm not sure how it handled merging the adjacent extents
and breaking up extents in two (which is now handled by the text-props
code.)
