+;; I don't know how to define new faces in an emacs package, so I'm
+;; cannibalizing existing faces.
+;;
+;; I load this file like so in my .emacs:
+;;    (load "/absolute/path/to/subx.el")
+;;    (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.subx\\'" . subx-mode))
+;;
+;; Education on the right way to do this most appreciated.
