Erm, this code was just example code, so I am personally not so sure
which one should take precedence, the old fontification or the new
one. It's hard for me to make an educated guess, because the major
mode has no meaning, and so the fontification has no meaning.

But maybe you have a more general reason to say this. Could you
please elaborate?
