Re: Incorrect terminology in Customize doc

[Richard Stallman]

    Some of the Customize documentation incorrectly refers to user
    preferences, which can be either faces or variables, as "user
    options". In Emacs terminology (elsewhere, and longstanding), a "user
    option" is a `user-variable-p', that is, a variable that users are
    intended to change (its doc string has "*" at the beginning).

I agree, that is somewhat inconsistent.

    The correct term for a user preference that includes both variables
    and faces is "preference",

We don't use the term "preference" at all, so I don't see any sense in
which it is "correct".  Why do you think it is "correct"?

    Since all custom vars are user-variable-p, I think it make sense to expand
    the notion of "user option" to also include other custom-izable objects
    like faces.

I am not sure how much work that involves, but I like it better than
switching to the term "preferences".
