Subject: 25.1; describe-symbol doesn't show face with same name as a variable
Date: Sun, 25 Sep 2016 12:49:11 -0600

Recipe:

emacs -Q
C-h o font-lock-comment-face RET

Only the variable of this name is shown, not the face (which can be
viewed with describe-face, of course).

It appears that when the face only shares a name with a function, then
both the function and face are shown. Only a variable shadows the face
in describe-symbol.
