sb> What do you think Simon, about changing the mode name to "Fast" or

I presume you mean changing the "Font" minor mode indicator?

This is something I toyed with a long time ago and then decided to drop
it.  I think it is better that Lazy and Fast Lock modes not announce
themselves at all, since they are more support modes for Font Lock mode
than minor modes in their own right.  And that's what I now do for both
Lazy (version 2) and Fast Lock modes; all you see is "Font" as before.

Vinnie> Anyway, diffs for lazy-lock 1.15 are attached.

BTW, Ben made a number of changes to the lazy-lock.el 1.14 that I released
that are not reflected in 1.15.  So you went from 1.14-plus-ben-hacks to
1.15-minus-ben-hacks.

I'm not saying that you should change back again---though I have my own
opinions about the mechanism that 1.14-plus-ben-hacks uses and why version
2 does not use anything like that mechanism (see for example the comment
header in lazy-lock.el 2.07)---but I thought I should raise this point so
you can make your own mind up about what to do.  Version 1.15 is also very
old and predates the 20.0 releases, hence its screw-up of Emacs/XEmacs
version number testing.

Simon.
