But... is that correct? I thought the command only adjusted the size
of the font of the default face (*phew*)... let's see.... Yup. I
tried using it in a eww buffer (which uses variable-pitch and not
default) and the `C-x C-+' didn't change the font size. (It made the
lines taller, though... Oh, right, some of the spaces use `default'.)
