No. It's a hack to use fontification for that purpose.

This problem should be solved with the help of a new :no-extend-to-eol
face attribute. Whenever set - typically in 'font-lock-comment-face',
'font-lock-doc-face' and 'font-lock-string-face' - the display engine
would show the default background on the rest of the line. The idea
sounds deceptively simple but I never got around coding it.

If it's made a face property, users are free to customize it at their
will. But I obviously wouldn't oppose an :extend-to-eol attribute.
