Does font-lock-mode-hook still exist?

[Andrew M. Scott]

Does font-lock-mode-hook still exist? Has its function been
superceded?

C-h v font-lock-mode-hook doesn't return anything on a clean emacs
invocation.

I found zero hits for font-lock-mode-hook on the Emacs info pages.

Browsing the Elisp info file, in the "Standard Hooks" section, it
mentions that

    "Every major mode defines a mode hook named `MODENAME-mode-hook'.
    The major mode command runs this normal hook with `run-mode-hooks' as
    the very last thing it does.  *Note Mode Hooks::.  Most minor modes
    have mode hooks too.  Mode hooks are omitted in the list below."

so I'm assuming that font-lock-mode-hook may be an example of
MODENAME-mode-hook. Even if it is a generic example, it might be nice
to have a docstring for font-lock-mode-hook as a special case of a hook.

I did grep for font-lock-mode-hook in the distribution lisp directories:

<something>/emacs/lisp/

FYI, I also grepped my local site-lisp area to see what other packages
might use font-lock-mode-hook:
