Trust, but verify.

Here is the actual doc string:

| global-font-lock-mode is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `font-lock'.
| (global-font-lock-mode &optional ARG DUMMY)
|
| Toggle Font-Lock mode in every buffer.
| With prefix ARG, turn Global-Font-Lock mode on if and only if ARG is positive.
| Font-Lock mode is actually not turned on in every buffer but only in those
| in which `turn-on-font-lock-if-enabled' turns it on.

Note that the argument is optional; when it is not specified, the mode
is toggled; and a nil value for an optional arg is the same thing as
leaving it unspecified.
