+
+NOW, if present and non-nil, forces the face settings to take
+immediate effect in the Emacs display; in particular, FACE is
+initialized as a face if it is not yet one.  If NOW is omitted or
+nil, the caller is responsible for making the settings take
+effect later, by calling `custom-theme-recalc-face' or
+`face-spec-recalc'.
 
-Several properties of THEME and FACE are used in the process:
+COMMENT is a string comment about FACE.
 
-If THEME property `theme-immediate' is non-nil, this is equivalent of
-providing the NOW argument to all faces in the argument list: FACE is
-created now.
+This function works by calling `custom-push-theme' to record each
+SPEC in each FACE's `theme-face' property, and in THEME's
+`theme-settings' property.  If FACE has not already been
+customized, it also stores SPEC in the `saved-face' property.
 
-SPEC itself is saved in FACE property `saved-face' and it is stored in
-FACE's list property `theme-face' \(using `custom-push-theme')."
+If THEME has a non-nil `theme-immediate' property, this is
