Agreed. In my `picolisp-mode` package, i have a defface 
`picolisp-global-variable-face`, i.e. the face used for PicoLisp 
global variables. i feel that dropping '-face' from this wouldn't 
provide any concrete benefits to me or my users, and indeed, would 
prevent the sort of useful actions you describe.
