I think the possibility in some way to Erase C should be kept. I said before
that I think 1 is a bit obscure, but maybe I was wrong there. If instead of
comparing the values a flag to tell that the standard value was fetched it
can be ok I guess.
Then there is the question whether the user should be asked when saving
whether to erase the entries in custom-file or not. I believe he/she should
be asked, but with only one question for multiple options. I believe this
will be more clear for the user without too much burden.
