I'd argue that you're wrong -- `FOO-p' is not a thing which you can set.
Faces have an `inverse-video' property, and `face-inverse-video-p' is
merely the name of the predicate which tests that property.
Having bogus function names around in emacs-proper just serves to
confuse people and cause the _next_ generation of bogus function names.
