Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2012 15:32:30 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <rk627bw2i9.fsf@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <j2mx0np1z4.fsf@fencepost.gnu.org> (Glenn Morris's message of "Tue, 18 Sep 2012 15:25:51 -0400")


BTW, here is the relevant quote from the elisp manual (it's not really
relevant for the Emacs manual IMO):

 -- Function: custom-set-variables &rest args
     This function installs the variable customizations specified by
     ARGS.  Each argument in ARGS should have the form

          (VAR EXPRESSION [NOW [REQUEST [COMMENT]]])

     VAR is a variable name (a symbol), and EXPRESSION is an expression
     which evaluates to the desired customized value.

     If the `defcustom' form for VAR has been evaluated prior to this
     `custom-set-variables' call, EXPRESSION is immediately evaluated,
     and the variable's value is set to the result.  Otherwise,
     EXPRESSION is stored into the variable's `saved-value' property,
     to be evaluated when the relevant `defcustom' is called (usually
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
     when the library defining that variable is loaded into Emacs).
     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
