As an aside, I've long wanted to add anonymous faces to Emacs; a cursory
investigation suggests that simply allowing lisp `face vectors' to be used in
a few places (skipping the name->vector lookup) would actually work. However
the huge amount of backward-compatibility hair in Emacs' face machinery
always makes such things a bit touch-n-go...
[I don't think the name lookup efficiency is actually much of an issue though;
my reason is more to avoid the necessity of naming faces.]
