Value `gamma' means..." :type '(choice (const :tag "First tag" alpha) (const :tag "Second tag" beta) (const :tag "Third tag" gamma))) M-x customize-option foo Each of the `...' in the doc string gets a mouseover property and becomes a link (call it a button, if you like). This is inappropriate. If you click such a link, you get this: alpha is void as a variable. Documentation: Not documented as a variable. This is ridiculous. Emacs should be able to do better than this. If it can't be smart enough to distinguish variables, then it should not add the mouse-face and links at all for `...'. It is not uncommon for an option doc to describe the acceptable Lisp values, enclosing them with `...' when they are symbols.
