Is there a particular reason to have the unit of the line-height be in
pixels?  We specify face dimensions in units of tenths of a point
elsewhere.  Not that I am convinced that is the best way, though.

Anyway, it would be nice if one could specify this relative to a
particular face.  Something like

'(line-height . (1.0 . small-face))

'(line-height . (1.2 . nil))  ;; means the current face
'(line-height . (1.2 . default)) ;; same as the following
'(line-height . 1.2) ;; relative to default

Something like that.  If somebody has a better idea to specify
"current face", that would be nice.
