One possible solution for that is to discourage, or even get rid of,
of the per-variable command button.
I use Custom extensively. The per-variable command buttons are the
_only_ ones I use. Getting rid of them would make Custom unusable in
as far as I am concerned.
If there is only the whole-buffer Set and the whole-buffer Save,
this confusion won't happen.
If there were no whole-buffer Set and Save functions, the confusion
would never happen. But I would not go as far as to suggest
eliminating the whole-buffer buttons, even though I do not consider
them to be very useful. Maybe we could provide warning messages if
people tried to use them. But I believe that it is _obvious_ to
Custom users that if they want to operate on an entire buffer, they
have to be really careful. I would guess that the whole-buffer
buttons are _very_ seldom used. It is much safer and much more
convenient to set or save options one by one.
Sincerely,
Luc.
