The names are badly chosen (having both 'set-' and '-p' is confusing),
but if you read the names like this, it does make sense:
set-face - FOO-p
I would argue that 'set-' takes precedence over '-p' here...

IMHO, there is an abundance of silly functions and commands in
faces.el; I don't see any reason to rename a few of them (which are
rarely used anyway - I found only 5 places total).
So I object.
