It might be clear to you, but not to users.  Customize is all about user
variables (options).  We should be very clear whenever we mean a variable that
is not necessarily a user variable.

What does this added clarity cost?  It's about _users_; it's not about Emacs
Dev's ease in dispatching bugs summarily.
