Ah. I misunderstood the doc string, then. Can we improve the docstring
and find another way to say "underlying face"? The word underlying
doesn't appear in the Elisp manual index. When I read your answer I
thought that underlying faces are the faces are the faces I inherit
from. But when I look at (elisp) Face Attributes I see the following:
`:inherit'
The name of a face from which to inherit attributes, or a list of
face names. Attributes from inherited faces are merged into the
face like an underlying face would be, with higher priority than
underlying faces. If a list of faces is used, attributes from
faces earlier in the list override those from later faces.
Apparently there is a difference between inheritance and underlying
that I don't understand.
