Re: problems with face-spec-reset-face and set-face-attribute

[Richard M. Stallman]

    Then I'm confused. As Juri said (and it works):

        `unspecified' does just what it says, i.e. leaves the default frame
        value untouched.  If you want to change the default for new frames,
        you can set the value of this attribute to nil.  So this should work
        just fine:

            (set-face-attribute 'completions-first-difference nil :inherit nil)

I don't think that is how things are designed to work.
I don't know what he meant by it, so I don't see a reason
to argue about the hermeneutics.
