Function to determine which face to use when fontifying syntactically.

The function is called with a single parameter (the state as returned by parse-partial-sexp at the beginning of the region to highlight) and should return a face. This is normally set via font-lock-defaults.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 21.1.
