Sure. With "not so nice" I meant "not so nice that it doesn't just
accept read syntaxes of characters.

I was wrong, we have a bug here.
The custom interface doesn't even accept the unmodified default value
(just make a change, undo, and try to "Set for current session"). It
seems it has a problem with the value field containing the newline
character - that seems to be read as empty string, and that later fails
the validation test.
