The program just written that was supposed to
track down mutants came up with the following
user variables that were incorrectly set with
`setq':
.emacs, 39: show-paren-delay
erc-my.el, 9: erc-user-full-name
erc-my.el, 72: erc-header-line-format
mode-line.el, 6: column-number-mode
mode-line.el, 7: line-number-mode
spell-new.el, 5: ispell-program-name
w3m-tabs.el, 5: w3m-tab-width
The other program just written confirms this -
possibly because they use the same criteria...
According to the thread,
`customize-set-variable' should be used rather
than setq. However that doesn't work - it won't
evaluate, and the byte compiler - which doesn't
mention the supposed "setq error" by the way -
the byte compiler doesn't accept the New Deal,
saying either
Wrong type argument: symbolp
or
Attempt to set a constant symbol: nil
The customize-set-variable interface is
(customize-set-variable VARIABLE VALUE
&optional COMMENT)
which sounds a lot like the setq interface,
namely
(setq [SYM VAL]...)
so why doesn't that work?
