    1. `eval-defun' is not in the Elisp manual index, except for one
       occurrence in the section on edebug.  Nodes `Defining Variables'
       and `Variable Definitions' should be indexed for `eval-defun'.

We don't use the index that way.

    2. The doc string of `eval-defun' mentions only `defvar' and
       `defcustom'.  It should also mention the same behavior for
       `defface'.

    3. The Elisp manual, node Defining Faces, which discusses `defface',
       should also mention the C-M-x (`eval-defun') behavior for
       `defface'.  The nodes discussing `defvar' and `defcustom' mention
       it, but `defface' was forgotten.

I fixed these.  Thanks for reporting them.
