FWIW, here's the reason why I haven't even looked into doing it
automatically for smerge: IMO 2-way conflicts are worthless so I only
care about 3-way conflicts, and for those I don't know how to display
all 3 different "refinements" at the same time.  IOW I too often need to
use the cycling behavior of smerge-refine for a "font-lock" version to
be sufficient.  So if we implement a "font-lock" version of
smerge-refine, we'll need to make sure it interacts well with subsequent
manual smerge-refine cycling.
