I propose the following small changes to the
`custom-reevaluate-setting' docstring. I believe that "default value"
might be somewhat confusing, since it is often used as the opposite of
"buffer local value". I believe that "standard value", the standard
name used by Custom, is less ambiguous. I also believe that the
docstring should make clear that it calls the :set function.
I can install, if desired.
