Re: A vision for multiple major modes: some design notes

[Stefan Monnier]

I haven't kept up with this discussion, but I think it'd worthwhile
taking a look at what things like SublimeText do for syntax
highlighting, because it's a lot more powerful than what font-lock does
(IOW it lets you define contexts and is hence closer to a parser whereas
font-lock is closer to a lexer), and it might be an interesting starting
point for multiple major modes.

I think font-lock is old and deserves a replacement.
