Yes, that was what I was referring to. But as only the font-lock
faces and not the standard faces provide these variables, wouldn't it
make sense to encourage the use of expressions and deprecate the use
of symbols?
AUCTeX is using both a defface and a defvar for defining its faces as
well. But if only expressions are used in `font-lock-keywords', I can
get rid of the defvars.
