Are you sure it will restore the font-lock state or is just that
the normal find-file hooks us the normal mechanism to turn it on?
i.e. what happens when I am editing in a major mode that is normally
_not_ font-lock-ed an I do
M-x turn-on-font-lock RET
M-x revert-buffer RET
Is the result a font-locked buffer?
