BTW, here is the relevant quote from the elisp manual (it's not really
relevant for the Emacs manual IMO):
-- Function: custom-set-variables &rest args
This function installs the variable customizations specified by
ARGS. Each argument in ARGS should have the form
(VAR EXPRESSION [NOW [REQUEST [COMMENT]]])
VAR is a variable name (a symbol), and EXPRESSION is an expression
which evaluates to the desired customized value.
If the `defcustom' form for VAR has been evaluated prior to this
`custom-set-variables' call, EXPRESSION is immediately evaluated,
and the variable's value is set to the result. Otherwise,
EXPRESSION is stored into the variable's `saved-value' property,
to be evaluated when the relevant `defcustom' is called (usually
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
when the library defining that variable is loaded into Emacs).
