Re: internal-lisp-face-p is not very discriminating, is it?

[Richard Stallman]

    Still, it seems very wrong that just "face-alias"ing a symbol to
    itself suddenly turns it into a (fake) face.

Lisp gives you a lot of rope to hang yourself.
At rather internal levels like this, we don't need to take steps
to defend against putting perverse values in data structures.

    It is not possible to modify internal_lisp_face_p to pass signal_p  =
    1 to lframe_from_face_name, because then dumping fails when loading
    face.el. However, the attached minimal patch seems to work.

    Does anyone see anything wrong with this change?

I have nothing against it if it works out well.
