How exhaustive should this "concise" description be?  I think it might
suffice to just look at those face specifications which facemenu offers.

What could be the usecase for such a face description?

----------------------------------------------------------------

Search for "fg:" or "bg:" in facemenu.

What I meant is the sequence of commands

        M-o b, M-o f black, M-o b yellow

is indeed a mnemonic for creating "bold face, with black foreground and
yellow background".  There is no particular order in which they are
composed and they are primitives in their own way.
