I looked at their documentation and I have trouble understanding how they differ. I see there= is also `custom-set-variables' which has a different signature. So my question is: should I use `setq', `customize-set-variable', `customize-set-value', or `custom-set-variables' to change in my init file variables that exist in the custom ecosystem?
