I think this is actually a documentation bug, but it seriously confused me for a while today.

The NEWS file states that 27.1 includes a new convenience command `font-lock-refontify`.  However, um, 27.1 doesn't.  Try saying M-x find-function RET font-lock-refontify RET to see what I mean.

It seems that commit c5fd4d373ed6d80b744951afe13e50070bff41cf renamed the command to `font-lock-debug-fontify`, but this change didn't make it into the NEWS file.

I'm not sure what's the best thing to do about this, but I figured I'd report it anyway to start a conversation.

Yup.  I've now updated the NEWS file in the emacs-27 branch, so when
Emacs 27.2 is released, this should be fixed there.
