Suppose that you use the customisation interface to enable the

Emacs gains a new on-by-default module, e.g. the recently added
em-extpipe.  While everyone who hasn't customised eshell-modules-list
gets the new module automatically, you'll have to customise the variable
again, and you can't even just tick a box to add it, as with the other
truly optional modules, but must manually insert it at the end of the
list.  This is no good.

Generally I resolve this in my config by using a combination of `add-to-list' and `delete' to manually customize lists like this. Maybe it would be good to provide something like that for users of the Customize interface as well? Then any defcustom that takes a list could either be customized to have an exact set of elements (as it is today), or to have "the default, but with FOO added and BAR removed".
