If we can't arrange to make just the defcustom do the job, documenting
this method is ok with me.
Perhaps we should document a simple way and a complex way. The simple
way is that it all gets done by the :set function when the defcustom's
expansion is executed. That requires putting the defcustom after the
minor mode function and generating a defvar before the function.
You'd use custom-initialize-reset.
For cases which are more complex, you'd use custom-initialize-default
and then write (if foo-mode (foo-mode 1)) at the end of the file.
If we are willing to change define-minor-mode, then I do not believe
that there is any need for the more complex method, unless there is
some reason why the define-minor-mode can not be delayed until all
functions called by the minor mode have been defined.
If we make define-minor-mode write a compiler defvar, then define the
mode function and then write the defcustom, one can use
custom-initialize-set if the define-minor-mode is not autoloaded, and
custom-initialize-reset if it is to be autoloaded. Actually,
custom-initialize-reset is relatively harmless for the default
define-minor-mode :set function. (The problems I was referring to
concern non minor mode :set functions, as I pointed out in my other
message.)
Sincerely,
Luc.
