Why make it a defcustom rather than a defvar?

Could you arrange for the default value of this new *-function var not
to be nil so we can modify it with add-function?

I think we'll want to provide a set of predefined functions in the 
future, for the user to choose one from.

Personally, I don't really expect this variable to be modified 
programmatically. And if it is, most likely not in a "function 
combination" fashion.

But, of course, I might be wrong.

So a defcustom makes sense, good.

But using `ignore` instead of `nil` both simplifies the code and makes
the var compatible with add-function, so it doesn't matter if
`add-function` is really useful with it.

So I just changed the default value from nil to ‘ignore’.
