Making inheritance work with font-lock keywords is a good idea, but this
is the wrong way to do it.  The right way is to take advantage of the
way inheritance works.  E.g. use a variable which modes would
*modify* rather than just set.  E.g. somehow convince all modes to use
the equivalent of font-lock-add-keywords.
