    Anyway my point is that the difference between defcustom with and without
    a * is in practice absent and in theory much too subtle and debatable to
    justify its existence (after all, who knows whether users will want to set
    something interactively or only at startup).

Shouldn't set-variable distinguish, at least for completion purposes?
