bug#48672: outline faces

[ludvig-faddeev]

Currently outline faces uses name faces taken for ather purposes than outline
headings.

font-lock-function-name-face))
  "Level 1.")

(defface outline-2
  '((t :inherit font-lock-variable-name-face))
  "Level 2.")

(defface outline-3
  '((t :inherit font-lock-keyword-face))
  "Level 3.")

(defface outline-4
  '((t :inherit font-lock-comment-face))
  "Level 4.")

(defface outline-5
  '((t :inherit font-lock-type-face)
 "Level 5.")

(defface outline-6
  '((t :inherit font-lock-constant-face))
  "Level 6.")

(defface outline-7
  '((t :inherit font-lock-builtin-face))
  "Level 7.")

(defface outline-8
  '((t :inherit font-lock-string-face))
  "Level 8.")

It would be appreciated that outline faces have their own faces rather than inheriting
faces for faces assigned to functions, keywords, comments, etc...

They are their own faces -- and inherit from common font-lock faces.  We
use this pattern all over Emacs to define faces, and it allows us to (by
default) have a smaller number of colour combinations to define.

If users want to change the outline faces, they can do so.  It's perhaps
slightly surprising that changing the font-lock faces also results in
changing the outline faces, but I think we can live with that.

Closing.
