defface programmatically with less redundancy

[Not To Miss]

Hi Emacs users,

I asked a question about it on the stack overflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17768561/defface-with-less-redundancy

just in case someone in the mailing list know the answer...

Thanks,
Zech

make-face is not at all deprecated, AFAICT.

defface can make use of inheritance -- see face attribute :inherit. Dunno whether that helps in your particular context.

Thanks, Drew. I saw you answers in stackoverflow too. For others' info,
defmacro is sweet to use in this case - another answer in stackoverflow.
