    (comint-mode): Bind font-lock-defaults non-nil.
    ----------------------------

I'm sure I did this to fix a bug, but I can't find any discussion
about it.  Maybe it was so facemenu-enable-faces-p would return nil.

As far as I can see, if font-lock-defaults is nil, that is equivalent
to (nil).  How do you conclude that nil would be equivalent to (nil t)?

But that is a side issue.  If the value (nil t) is better, we can
switch to it.  Do people agree it is better?
