Nonsense. You could say that it's crystal clear from the Elisp manual that
_function_ was meant (since that's what is says) and not symbol function or
"function name" (which would be a string). The code is bugged wrt its mission as
documented in the manual, which is the closest thing we have to a spec.
Kidding aside, this is a chance to DTRT, not just sidestep the problem because
the code might be unclear or it takes some studying to understand it.
At any rate, as I said, the bug (`Invalid face reference' messages and the
attendant slowdown) seems to be there even when I use a symbol function. Unless
I'm doing something wrong (which is why I asked for help).
