In the same obarray? > And there can even be a face which has a unique name and yet `intern' > does not return the corresponding face. In the same obarray? Anyway, a good reason (finally). And not so obvious. Faces are symbols, and I agree that it is generally not good to accept a symbol name in place of a symbol as arg. I retract the request, based on your argument. In practice, 99% of the faces passed as args will be interned in `obarray' (not in some other obarray), so there is still some argument for the convenience of accepting a string name. But to avoid confusion and explicitly documenting which obarray would be used if a string is passed, I agree with you after all.
