This is an optional feature that users can encounter only when running
`describe-face' on the face name in the `defface' definition (where one face
gets picked from the face name, and another from the face used to highlight
it by font-lock mode - font-lock-variable-name).
However, this feature could be documented and developed further to e.g.
allowing selecting multiple faces from the *Completions* buffer, inserting
them into the minibuffer separated by a comma, and calling a multi-command
on them.
