Sorry, that won't fly. The doc string should explain enough for other
Lisp programmers to be able to produce buttons that drop down menus.
So please humor me with a detailed enough answer to my questions, I'm

We must have a decent doc string for this defcustom. Please help me
fix what we have now.
