Re: Changed outside --> set, in Customize UI

>From my previous message:

   We might actually decide to do this not just for hooks and list-vars,
   but for _all_ options.  If set in .emacs, make it appear
   "untouchable".

As I already pointed out before that might not be the best idea, since
the user can still safely set the variable for the current session,
even though not save it.

Of course, we have the similar problem that if we make an entry set
with add-hook in .emacs untouchable, then the user can not undo it
for the current session any more either, even though this is feasible
and safe right now.

I believe that it is possible that we might still need "Set outside Custom"
after fixing the hooks-listvars bugs.  If you have set an option in
your .emacs ten years ago, you need some reminder that you actually
set it in your .emacs, or you might have forgotten it.  Referring to
something set in .emacs as "Set for the current" session would be very
confusing because things set in .emacs outside and inside the
`custom-set-variables' form are set in the same session.

Anyway, now is not the time to discuss such things.

Sincerely,

Luc.
