I find these functions odd.
`facemenu-set-face' just does this:
(facemenu-add-new-face face)
(facemenu-add-face face start end)
after reading a face name with `read-face-name'. So it's a very thin
shim over `facemenu-add-face'.
`M-x facemenu-add-face RET foo RET' and nothing happened. Then I did
`M-x facemenu-add-face RET bold RET', and it errored out saying
Invalid face reference: foo
Huh?
I have no idea what these two functions are supposed to be doing, but I
don't think... they are doing... whatever they should be doing.
