I see. So these variables assignments must be done using Lisp. The
Emacs manual is great, but it doesn't make that point clear. Thanks.
But why can't you just change the value of any variable using the set-
variable command? Why make some variables "user-option" and others
not? What's wrong with allowing:
M-x set-variable RET cursor-type RET "bar"
