Doing just M-x global-font-lock-mode toggles font-lock.  That means that
if it's off it's turned on and vice-versa.  All of the global
minor-modes work like that.  As I understand it, this behaviour was
found to be confusing in lisp programs.  Anyway, now M-x global-xxx-mode
still toggles, but in a lisp program (global-xxx-mode) now always means
"turn function xxx on".
