No, it also consults face-x-resources, which is not necessarily what
the caller wants.

Are you suggesting that for every loop someone might possibly need at
some point we should have a documented and public function in Emacs?

Well, there's defface with :inherit, and there's copy-face, to name
just two. You didn't describe enough context of what you want to do,
so I cannot be sure they are not relevant.
