Re: obsolete comment in tool-bar.el

This concerns the documentation for the two new :initialize functions.
They are kind of internal and hence I believe that maybe they do not
need to be mentioned in the already very long NEWS.  On the other
hand, maybe it might be useful to mention them in the Elisp manual,
for instance because people experimenting with changing the defcustoms
in question need to be aware of their subtleties.

The patch below documents them.  The small unrelated change in the
patch appears necessary regardless.

  Use the @code{:set} function to initialize the variable, if it is
  already set or has been customized; otherwise, just use
  @code{set-default}.
+ 
+ @item custom-initialize-safe-set
+ @itemx custom-initialize-safe-default
+ These functions behave like @code{custom-initialize-set}
+ (@code{custom-initialize-default}, respectively), but catch errors.
+ If an error occurs during initialization, they set the variable to
+ @code{nil} using @code{set-default}, and throw no error.
+ 
+ These two functions are only meant for options defined in pre-loaded
+ files, where some variables or functions used to compute the option's
+ value may not yet be defined.  The option normally gets updated in
+ @file{startup.el}, ignoring the previously computed value.  Because of
+ this typical usage, the value which these two functions compute
+ normally only matters when, after startup, one unsets the option's
+ value and then reevaluates the defcustom.

  Internally, @code{defcustom} uses the symbol property
  @code{standard-value} to record the expression for the default value,
  and @code{saved-value} to record the value saved by the user with the
! customization buffer.  The @code{saved-value} property is actually a
! list whose car is an expression which evaluates to the value.
