The only problem is that it doesn't work. :-)
To be more specific: When a user customizes this variable to nil, it
doesn't take effect. As Stefan Monnier pointed out in this thread, it
*does* take effect iff the user loads the custom file from the early
init file. I opined that this is probably not the most common use
pattern.

OK, let's try that instead. Please also see my other recent email in
this thread.
