Do you have an example of a variable with a :set for which it isn't problematic to use setq, and an example for which it is?

Do you mean after loading/starting the package? I guess most of them are problematic after loading, like (at random) vcursor-key-bindings.

Most variable that's autoloaded and has a :set can probably be set safely with setq (before loading the .el file).


Then I still don't get what you mean. An autoloaded but not yet loaded variable doesn't have its custom-set property set, so in that case there would be no warning with the proposed patch. Warnings are displayed only for customs variables that are "fully" loaded, and who have a :set property.
