For sure, I'm willing whatever is needed to make it more acceptable. But I'm
not sure about the purpose of that variable...

You want something such as =org-have-extra-faces=, and in case of:

- =t=, use them
- =nil=, use the old face =org-meta-line=.

Is is that? I find that to be uselessly complexifying the fontification code.
What was in my mind was have 2 new deffaces (not provided in the patch), with
the same default value (or even an inherit property, that's much better) as
=org-meta-line=.

Wouldn't that be better?  In the case of the inheritage, if not customized in
the color theme, the user would not see any change (I guess)...

FYI, my intention is to add different faces as well for header arguments and
their values...

Best regards,
  Seb
