The problem is that only works for customized faces, not for those
defined with lower-level functions, or for `merged' faces resulting from
text-properties, etc.  In fact I think one of the complaints Bob had was
about a face property added by the mode-line stuff.

I was envisioning a similar `face-filter,' but run somewhere just before
face-realization or thereabouts.  Of course, this approach requires more
care to avoid bjorking redisplay, or slowing things down too much.
