The doc string is not written well for users, that is, for interactive
use.  It should _first_ of all state clearly that:

* With no prefix arg, matching groups, faces, and options are
  customized.

* With a prefix arg, matching groups, faces, options, and non-option
  variables are customized.

Then it can go on to say what happens non-interactively wrt argument
TYPE.  Users should not have to read about TYPE to understand the
interactive use.

The prefix arg does nothing now (Bug#11176).  Closing.
