A _different_ feature that might work is a way to mark a face attribute as
`non overridable'. For instance if a face attribute could be a list like
(fixed VALUE), where VALUE is a normal value for that attribute, face
merging would always use the `base' value for that attribute instead of the
`normally overriding' value.
I really dislike this idea. Next someone would want a way to mark a
face attribute as super-overriding so as to override the 'non
overridable' marker. Then someone would want a way to mark a face
attribute as 'really non-overridable'. I call this the inheritance
arms race.
I see no reason to take even one step down the path.
It isn't really necessary.
