I meant that you should not rely on stealth fontification to correct any
misfontifications.  Stealth fontification does not try to refontify
anything that is already fontified.  Hence, it makes no sense to "adjust
the region for fontification".  When `font-lock-default-fontify-region'
detects that the region it should fontify stealthily is near a multiline
property, it will extend the region appropriately.
