I just did M-x customize-option RET exec-path RET.
I think the type for exec-path looks wrong. What do you think?
BTW, how do I write a customization :type for a list of directories?

It looks right to me.
When you report a problem, please describe what aspect of the
behavior you think is wrong. This is important so that we
don't have to just scratch our heads, wondering whether we
see the problem or not.

Oh, sorry, I thought it was easy to see. In the customize buffer there
is a "Value Menu" for each part of exec-path. That looks wrong to me.
Beside that the choices are "default" and "file". Whatever "default"
mean I think "file" should be "directory". Or?

Looking at it again I understand. Yes, it seems correct except for that
"file" should be "directory".

And "default" should be "default directory" of course.

Oh, sorry, I thought it was easy to see.
This illustrates the general principle: no matter how visible and
obvious you think the misbehavior is, you should always say explicitly
what it is, in your bug report.
