The one instance I find (via apropos) is:
command-remapping
Function: Return the remapping for command COMMAND in current keymaps.
[`remap' yields the same result.]
The reasons I like override better are:
(1) Its meaning is pretty obvious, and more visceral. For instance I think
if someone didn't know about this feature, and was trying to find out
why their faces looked weird, they'd be more likely to chance upon or
recognize `override' as being the likely culprit than `remapping'.
(2) Remapping does seem more to imply a one-to-one replacement of one face
name with another; if indeed the feature allows merging faces, or even
un-named face attributes to be used, then I think override fits better.
