Well, it's a low-level thing... :-)

I agree, code filled with `(aref .. 3)' is not good.  Going all the
way to a plist seems a bit gratuitous though.

What about just providing accessor/setter macros for `lface' vectors,
e.g., (lface-weight LFACE) and (set-lface-weight LFACE VAL)?

After all the `lface' representation _is_ exposed to lisp already, so
such macros might help other code as well.

[I'm not sure about the term `lface' though -- it's used fairly
 pervasively in the C code, but of course that's from the perspective of
 the C code...]
