Subject: bug#57064: describe-face accepts face_name as string
Date: Tue, 9 Aug 2022 03:44:40 +0200 (CEST)

The documentation for function `describe-face' states that a FACE has to be passed

(describe-face FACE &optional FRAME)

But the code also calls this

(if (stringp f) (setq f (intern f)))

Meaning that users can pass tho face-name as a string, but this possibility is not mentioned in the documentation of the function.
