(custom-buffer-create): New optional arg LOCAL. (customize-local-variables): New function. (custom-default-value): New function. (custom-variable-value-create): Use custom-default-value. (customize-set-variable): Use custom-set-default. (customize-save-variable): Likewise. (custom-variable-set, custom-variable-reset-standard): Likewise. (custom-variable-save, custom-variable-reset-saved): Likewise. My guess is that the UI was supposed to be the customize-local-variables function. The "customize-" prefix is reserved for UI commands. However, no such function is found in the source. Nor does custom-buffer-create have an optional LOCAL arg, or customize-set-variable use custom-set-default. It looks like I made a mistake and failed to check in the code that goes with the change log entry. I must have thought I had done so. It would be a lot of work to try to find that code on backups, and probably would fail anyway. But it would not be terribly hard to write it afresh based on the change log entry. I could do it, but I am awfully overloaded. Would anyone else like to do it?
