This is already possible with the command `customize-set-variable'.

Given the existence of this command, I don't understand why the command
`set-variable' whose purpose is to provide an interactive way to do
`setq' and to set any variable to any value the user wants, tries to do the
same as `customize-set-variable' with all its restrictions to the variable
name and value?
