It hasn't been added in released code yet.

Actually no: as I've shown with my sample alternative solution, it would
only force you to make you life simpler.

No: he agreed to install it after you claimed it was needed. As a matter of
fact, it was needed in font-lock-default-fontify-region (where you didn't
add it) but not in font-lock-after-change-function.

It seemed clear to him that an "extend-region" hook was a good idea and we
all agree that it is. But I highly doubt it that he took the time to
understand enough to be able to judge whether placing it in
font-lock-after-change-function was a good choice or not.
