This part of the text is unclear:
When defining a user option using `defcustom', you can set its
`safe-local-variable' property by adding the arguments `:safe FUNCTION'
to `defcustom'
FUNCTION needs to be described here. Just say that FUNCTION is the same
as the function used as the value of property `safe-local-variable'.
That will provide readers the understanding that FUNCTION "has to be a
function of one argument; any value is safe if the function returns
non-`nil' given that value."

It is explained in the immediately previous paragraph.
Repeating it seems unnecessarily verbose, and we all hate unnecessary
verbosity, don't we?

FUNCTION is not described there. What is described there is the
function that is the value of property `safe-local-variable'.
But I was mistaken that the connection between the two is not made
clear. They are connected in the same sentence, by saying that
:safe FUNCTION _sets_ the property. It is reasonable to assume
that FUNCTION is used as the value that is set. Not a bug. Thx.
