I assumed it didn't use all the faces internally and those could be 
turned
off, and give the impression that font lock is off.  If that is not 
possible,
I guess I have to redefine those faces.  However, NEWS should mention
this, and perhaps list the names of the faces.  It is not obvious that
faces starting with compile- also affects grep.
