It's drastic, but it's basically the same thing that happens for
variables. E.g. customizing this variable loses all of the logic
behind its value:
(defcustom foo
(cond ((fboundp 'some-function) ...)
((featurep 'some-feature) ...)
((eq system-type 'some-system) ...)
((some-arbitrary-test) ...)
(t ...)))
Since faces have conditional specs, should variables have specs (vs.
just lisp object values) as well?
