The name of a face from which to inherit attributes, or a list of face
names. Attributes from inherited faces are merged into the face like
an underlying face would be, with higher priority than underlying
faces (@pxref{Displaying Faces}). If a list of faces is used,
faces (@pxref{Displaying Faces}). If the face to inherit from is
@code{unspecified}, it is treated the same as @code{nil}, since Emacs
never merges @code{:inherit} attributes. If a list of faces is used,
attributes from faces earlier in the list override those from later
faces.
