Miles wrote "Probably the _majority_ of buttons used in the Emacs distrution act
basically like links". I agree to that.

However Miles made a suggestion to create a standard button-class
named link. I don't agree to that, or I at least doubt it is the best
solution. It seems less work to me to take care of the deviations when
the buttons should not look like links.

Also, please do not forget the widgets that acts like links. These
should IMO also use the standard "link" face.
