Thanks for bringing this up Drew.
Honestly, this sounds like a bug to me. Perhaps there's some
witchcraft involved, but I fail to see how it can be possible to save
`custom-file' via the customization interface and have it be properly
loaded on the next session.
Unless someone would like to correct me on that, I'd like to just
demote it to a defvar.
