An Icicles user would simply use `customize-face' and so on, instead. With `customize-apropos-faces', you get a custom buffer with ALL the faces whose names match the regexp. Using `customize-face' as a multi-command, and regexp-based completion, you can pick some of the matching faces and put each of them into a custom buffer. But you can't make a custom buffer with two of them, or all of them. (Am I mistaken?) This suggests that `customize-face', when it uses the multi-command feature, should put all the faces in one buffer. Well, I think that is not too hard to do, in my proposed framework. But this suggests there should be a minibuffer command to say "submit each of current candidates, one by one."
