Open some elisp (.el) buffer, place the cursor on some fontified keyword
(e.g. 'defun') and do `M-: (face-at-point nil t)`. Now activate `(M-x)
hl-line-mode` and again do `M-: (face-at-point nil t)`. The list shows
only the `hl-line` face, while the function its docstring says it should
return multiple faces.

When edebugging `face-at-point`, even though `hl-line-mode` is active,
the function returns only the char its face (and not `hl-line`).
