If I see the message and take the pain to do (custom-setq
var value), I certainly *expect* for custom to be silent from now on,
because I'm "going through it", even if not interactively. There's
*nothing* special in using the interactive, forms-like interface, other
than the fact that it is easier for some people.
I agree. Custom is meant to be a useful tool for the user, on top
of ordinary Lisp, not a primitive feature.
See utf-fragment-on-decoding for an extreme example. It has a huge and
complicated :set function, and no way to do the same thing outside
customize.
If this is something a Lisp program might want to do, we should provide
an easier way to do it. It could be done by putting that :set code
into a named function for Lisp programs to call.
I don't think we should have set-activate; it should not be necessary.
We should not recommend anything like custom-setq as the way for Lisp
programs to set a parameter. Something like custom-setq should only
be used when the aim is specifically to fake out Custom.
