If the user saves the value of `custom-file' through Custom and all we do is write a setq into .emacs, should we set `saved-value' to the new value and set all the other properties that Custom sets when the user saves a value for an option through Custom. That was my question. The amount of mail on this has been so large that I can't afford to read it all. (To read these messages and understand them is not quick work.) If the rest of you arrive at some sort of partial agreement, I'd like one of you who can explain the most clearly to explain them to me, and then I will think about what to do.
