For example, in *scratch* eval:
(put-text-property (point-min) (point-max)
'font-lock-face (make-empty-face 'foo))
Then 'C-u C-x =' shows:
There are text properties here:
font-lock-face foo
Then clicking on 'foo' shows:
Face: foo (sample) (customize this face)

Not documented as a face.

It's possible that these faces are applied over other faces
that will break the default theme.
