I think I've gathered as much from the fact that the bug is still
unfixed. Which is precisely why I used this precious opportunity to
point out that there might be more reasons. So now there's also the fact
that using the face for this seems like a kludge to Eli (and possibly
others? certainly me included) and gets in the way of other unrelated
code (or at least makes certain "obvious" solutions "non-obvious").
