Re: face-remapping patch

[David Reitter]

Miles, could you clarify why you are proposing a remapping list rather  
than "buffer-local faces"?

Buffer-local faces would behave like buffer-local variables, and they  
would also be analogous to faces specific to a frame.
Such functionality would come with basic house-keeping, i.e. garbage  
collection for locally defined faces that aren't needed any longer  
after the buffer has been killed.
