RE: custom-set-faces overridden?

[Drew Adams]

        What should also work, I believe, is to put:
        (put 'foo-face 'face-alias 'foo)
        for all these faces _before_ the custom-set-faces.

        That might be better if you want your code to work with
        Emacs versions before 22.

    Thanks. Received this after I already applied. Shouldn't this
    also be done in the Emacs code? Isn't that common practice for
    name changes, especially for names of user-visible (and
    customizable!) thingies?

Well, I should have looked at the June snapshot code first. Emacs does do
the face aliasing, but the corresponding variables still have `-face' in
their names. Makes sense.

 ;; backward-compatibility alias
 (put 'diff-index-face 'face-alias 'diff-index)
 (defvar diff-index-face 'diff-index)
