It seems a little cleaner to have nil specify the current fontset rather
than fontset-default, but only a little. In your estimation, is there a
significant amount of outside code (e.g. user customizations) that rely
on the old behavior? If so, I don't think it's profitable to make this
change.
As Miles mentioned, either way this needs to be documented in the
docstring.
