If you check this mailing-list, you'll see that it all started with Richard
suggesting exactly that and we ended up with `safe-local-variable'.
Now, this doesn't mean it was a bad idea. Just that you can't rely solely
on the custom type mostly because it may include unsafe values.
But, yes, maybe we could add a special predicate that basically says
"consider as safe anything that the custom type accepts". The only problem
I can see with it is that the custom-type is typically not preloaded (even
if you place a ;;;###autoload in front of the defcustom), so we'd either
arrange for it to be preloaded or to force the corresponding package to be
autoloaded whenever the variable appears in a "Local Variables" section.
