Well, that was suggested upthread (which is where the idea of relying
on \sf came from) and Peter objected on the quite reasonable grounds
that people expect \df+ to provide this info and won't know to go
use \sf instead.  So I'm afraid that suggestion is going nowhere.

I think the options that have a chance of happening are to rearrange
\df+ output more or less as in my patch, or to do nothing.  I'm not very
happy about "do nothing", but that seems to be where we're ending up.
