The new regexp argument for list-faces-display is not documented on
NEWS. Should it? And if yes, in what section? "Changes in Specialized
Modes and Packages in Emacs 22.1" and "Lisp Changes in Emacs 22.1"
both seem in order.
Somewhat related: on 1999-07-21 Gerd committed lots and lots of
changes (possibly he was synchronizing from a branch). faces.el got an
almost complete rewrite, and in particular list-faces-display lost the
following ability:
1999-01-11 Richard Stallman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* faces.el (list-faces-display): Improve the formatting
by computing the maximum length required for any face-name.
(I'm attaching a patch that shows the changes done to
list-faces-display; line numbers are wrong because I've cut out just
the code for the function)
Question is, should this change be reverted? And, it is that a bugfix
or a new feature?
