The (null font-lock-mode) test is an optimization. It may provide more
reliable and slightly faster behavior for those people who don't want
the highlighting.
It does come with one downside, which is that enabling font-lock-mode
after the fact will not result in the matches being highlighted.
I'm not too worried about this downside, so either way is fine by me.
