`set-variable' is only for user options. The variable in question is probably
not a user option.
,----[ C-h f set-variable RET ]
| set-variable is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple+.el'.
|
| (set-variable VAR VAL &optional MAKE-LOCAL)
|
| Set VARIABLE to VALUE. VALUE is a Lisp object.
| When using this interactively, enter a Lisp object for VALUE.
| If you want VALUE to be a string, you must surround it with doublequotes.
| VALUE is used literally, not evaluated.
|
| If VARIABLE has a `variable-interactive' property, that is used as if
| it were the arg to `interactive' (which see) to interactively read VALUE.
|
| If VARIABLE has been defined with `defcustom', then the type information
| in the definition is used to check that VALUE is valid.
|
| With a prefix argument, set VARIABLE to VALUE buffer-locally.
