I have been seriously considering font-lock approaches but so far they

For example, how would font-lock alter the quotes that Emacs outputs in
batch diagnostics?
It probably won't, you'll need a different function.
OK, that can be the format-message function already discussed.  So the font-lock 
proposal isn't intended to address the problem of diagnostics, or of info or 
help buffers for that matter; it's intended only to address the issue of 
displaying docstrings to a developer who's editing Elisp code.  Is that correct?
