If anyone's considering writing a patch, note that this breaks
~org-get-priority~ and ~org-agenda-fontify-priorities~ (used in the
agenda). Best to keep both regexps around.

In a 1k lines org file, it reduces the time to fontify the whole
buffer by 0.1 second. I do not know how much of a change this makes
wrt to typing latency.
