Actually, the default has been `t' for as long as I can recall. Eli has said it
is since 20.1. Stefan has conjectured that it is ever since the variable has
existed.

But these too might be of interest. Suggestion: start with the last. This
useful feature (font-lock levels) is apparently already on its way to the trash
heap (its removal is marked `pending' for 24.2). We will apparently soon have
no choice in the matter - the behavior will be hard-coded as maximum decoration.
