	do not simply reuse (hard-code) font-lock faces for apropos

No reason is given why this is considered a "wishlist" bug.

Such hardcoded faces are anathema and should be corrected, giving users the
control they deserve.  Hardcoding is not the GNU way.  It does not respect
users.  Especially so in the context of user help such as `apropos'.
