That's not what I had in mind. I thought of resolving/replacing noweb
references before fontifying the code. That way, the major mode for src
block will simply not see <<noweb>> text and will not be confused.

Sure, but I wanted to hear why such feature is useful in practice. Your
example with fontification is not something I consider as a good
justification for adding a new feature. You another email provides a
better justification though.
