Re: Question about set-variable in .emacs

[Richard M. Stallman]

    If t is an illegal value for foo, then the obvious recommendation
    would be that the user would not set foo to an illegal value.  The
    fact that the user does not get warned would not seem that much of a
    problem, since people who do not use Custom presumably do not _want_
    this type of hand holding.

I agree with your point, but please call these values "invalid", not
"illegal".  They are not forbidden by law.  See the GNU Coding
Standards.
