OK, the patch I just sent to Bug#19889 does that.

Probably not worth the hassle. I merely listed it after Courier 10 Pitch.

The source was talking about CSS, and I guess "monospace" has a meaning in CSS
that is roughly the same as "Monospace" in face-font-family-alternatives.

The patch I just sent does that, by inventing a name "Monospace Serif" as a way
to make the request conveniently as an argument to :family when using defface.
It sounds like you may prefer doing this sort of thing in some other way, but I
do not know what that way would be and so would appreciate any advice, as I am
by no means an expert in Emacs font configuration and am just trying to get the
bug fixed for the typical user.
