Subject: bug#33566: 26; `group' :type for defcustom
Date: Sat, 1 Dec 2018 12:44:56 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <09947acd-9d28-44c8-9fa0-c5cd4a4ee569@default> (raw)

It seems like defcustom composite :type `group' does not work.

See https://emacs.stackexchange.com/q/46357/105.

emacs -Q

(defcustom foo '(1 2 3)
  "..."
  :type '(group integer integer integer)
  :group 'emacs)

M-x customize-option foo

Shows this message in *Messages*:

custom-variable-value-create: Bad format

And buffer *Customize Option: Foo* is not complete.  I see only this:

Custom settings cannot be saved; maybe you started Emacs with '-q'.
For help using this buffer, see Easy Customization in the Emacs manual.

                                          Search 

Operate on all settings in this buffer:
 Revert...   Apply  

Hide 
------------8<----------------

The doc says that :type `group' should be very similar to :type `list',
but without tags.
