Good point. In that case the solution is to forego the use of
`defcustom`. I'm fine with that.
After all, the autoloads are supposed to run before the .emacs, so the
user can `add-to-list` just fine to override whatever was added by autoloads.

But they're not autoloaded, so in the loaddefs.el file, you have
a reference to it without the preceding definition.
Maybe the better option is to define (and use) a new function
`browse-url-mailto` (or some other name) which just funcalls
`browse-url-mailto-function`.
