There is a macro in font-lock.el called save-buffer-state that font lock 
uses when it changes the text properties. Unfortunately that macro is 
not available for anyone else to use since it is in an 
eval-when-compile. Maybe that macro should be made available outside of 
font-lock.el -- for changing text properties?
