Doc string:

 Non-nil means highlighting commands do not prompt for the face to use.
 Instead, each hi-lock command will cycle through the faces in
 `hi-lock-face-defaults'.

Not clear what "instead" refers to.  Is it instead of non-nil, i.e.,
what nil means, or is it instead of prompting?

Something like this (or more verbose) might be clearer.

 Non-nil means highlighting commands cycle through `hi-lock-face-defaults'.
 Nil means the commands prompt for the face to use.
