Looks like this refers to this thing described in the doc of
`font-lock-defaults':

"Further item elements are alists of the form (VARIABLE . VALUE) and are
in no particular order.  Each VARIABLE is made buffer-local before set
to VALUE."

Also see the following sentences.

Maybe the docstring of `font-lock-defaults' has been changed, and a
further version used the name "OTHER-VARS".


Michael.
