Is this under font-lock?
Yes. Sorry if it wasn't clear.
If so I guess we could have a font-lock-minimum-size just as we have
font-lock-maximum-size currently.
Well. font-lock-maximum-size means "don't font-lock the buffer if
it's larger than X characters." I don't see the logic of an
equivalent font-lock-minimum-size.
