Notice: inside a comment (and AFAIK that commented code doesn't actually
use that face, it just says what to do in case that face shows up).

That's the CC-mode I was referring to.

These two themes just define the face, i.e. say what to do in case some
third party uses it.  Notice how `whiteboard-theme` also defines the
appearance of `realgud-*` faces, which aren't defined in Emacs.
We could remove those "references", but I see no urgency.
