Re: definition lines in Info - 1) link, 2) highlight

    Faces are like global variables - user options. You wouldn't think of
    "reusing" some user option that happened to have a default value of t or nil
    or 100 that you were after, instead of defining a new user option that had
    the same default value - because customizing one might not be appropriate
    for the uses of the other. The same is true of faces.

We often do use a face for similar purposes in various contexts,
just as we do for variables.

    How about waiting until after the release for this, and doing it right,
    creating separate faces for this feature?

I won't insist on installing it now.
