Lisp programs display in the margins by putting string-valued
properties on buffer text.  While doing that, how hard is it to
specify the face for those strings? it's just one call to 'propertize'
away.

By default, the text displayed in the margins inherits the face of the
text on which you put the corresponding properties, right?  Why isn't
that a good default?
