Not sure it's worth taking a convention that far. 

Do we warn when naming hook vars, etc.?

Many faces in Emacs Lisp end in `-face`, even though the Emacs Lisp manual section on `defface` says that they shouldn't: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Defining-Faces.html

One problem is that this convention is not mentioned in the Emacs Lisp Coding Conventions section of the manual: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Coding-Conventions.html#FOOT21

Perhaps ‘defface’ itself could warn if it's being called with a name that ends with -face?
