Then remove the definitions for faces reb-match-[1-3]. reb-match-0 should suffice. At the very least, reb-match-[2,3] are unnecessary, from a zen-minimalistic POV. Not to mention that "no apparent good whatsoever" is highly subjective, isn't it? I have that very same feeling every time I look at customize... > So what?

No. But I think we could agree that there are at least three criteria (perhaps more) to define something as a good default for Emacs: - Defaulting to that something makes Emacs safer out-of-the-box - Defaulting to that something is easier to understand for a newbie - If not a default, most people interested in the feature will set or define that something in their .emacs I was hypothesizing about the third condition. -- /L/e/k/t/u
