Yep. I'll switch the regex in over to use rx.


An unrelated question.

I've written some basic tests for this and I couldn't find any other
tests that seemed to deal with fontification at all. In order to get
fontification tests to work I added a call to `font-lock-ensure' inside
`org-test-with-temp-text' (see excerpted patch bit below). Given how
frequently `org-test-with-temp-text' is used, does it make sense to
create a separate version of that macro just for testing with
fontification? I have no idea what the performance impact would be, so
any guidance is appreciated.
