Re: Merging customize support
Why not add built-in face properties like font-family, font-weight,
font-slant, etc.? Otherwise you arbitrarily stick some properties
inside of property lists hung off a single property, and other
properties are direct face properties. Ugly ugly ugly. Keep it simple.
I haven't completely looked through the specs but implementation should
be easy. We already have font.el to figure out how to map those font
properties to font names, and in the C code we already have code to
merge attributes, and code to do caching on a per-window basis.
I would love to see a clean model implemented.

Well, I almost like this setup. The thing I don't like is a face
having all these properties. A property list like this should be
recognized as an instantiator for a font specifier.
