This is a useful feature, but for backward-compatibility perhaps
it should be optional, i.e. the meaning of ':extend t' could be
reversed, then we could find and fix all default faces where
this new feature is needed.

I had no objections because I thought that the discussed feature is opt-in,
i.e. I thought that optional ':extend t' means extend to EOL.
