When I'm in the middle of editing and the current block is not yet
syntactically complete, as far as font-lock is aware of the syntax.

I didn't mean to say that it happens to me every day, but it does
happen.  For me, font-lock's fontifications are an important clue of
the code structure, I use it for making sure the code is correct and
frequently find bugs before they hit me.
