    2. `Custom-' is for commands that are bound to key sequences.
    3. `customize' is for commands that are not bound to key sequences.

    If that's what the convention means, then I don't understand #2 and #3. Why
    distinguish names based on whether or not a command is bound?

So that the commands that are on keys won't impede completion
for the commands that you run with M-x.

This should not be changed.
