I have found it difficult and time consuming to browse the code in cus*.el
and wid*.el. The code is surely complicated (at least I think it is) so it
is no surprise. However I wonder if I am missing something. Is there an easy
way to find out what is going to happen when a widget is created? Could
there even be one? Any suggestion on how to read code of that sort? (I mean
partly OO, dynamic scoping etc.)

widget-browse(-at) is an extremely primitive widget class/object
browser, which I find helpful. It could obviously be improved a lot.

I have found that code very hard to understand, and I too would appreciate
better explanations of how it works.

FWIW, widget.texi has a section about these widget-browsing features.
