Then remove the definitions for faces reb-match-[1-3]. reb-match-0
should suffice. At the very least, reb-match-[2,3] are unnecessary,
from a zen-minimalistic POV.
Not to mention that "no apparent good whatsoever" is highly
subjective, isn't it? I have that very same feeling every time I look
at customize...

No. But I think we could agree that there are at least three criteria
(perhaps more) to define something as a good default for Emacs:
- Defaulting to that something makes Emacs safer out-of-the-box
- Defaulting to that something is easier to understand for a newbie
- If not a default, most people interested in the feature will set
or define that something in their .emacs
I was hypothesizing about the third condition.
