bug#12912: 24.3.50; doc string for `read-face-name'


From: Drew Adams
Subject: bug#12912: 24.3.50; doc string for `read-face-name'
Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2012 16:37:34 -0800

This doc seems to be incomplete and unclear wrt DEFAULT.
 
It speaks of a case where DEFAULT is not a string.  It does not say what
else it must/can be (besides nil).  Can it be a symbol - e.g., a face
symbol?  Can it be a list of strings, i.e., multiple defaults?  A list
of faces (symbols)?
 
What's more, there is nothing in the doc string that indicates that the
face name(s) is/are read using `completing-read-multiple'.  Not that
that implementation detail need be mentioned explicitly, but its
_behavior_, i.e., what the behavior of `read-face-name' is, should be
described.
