I made the following change to the docstring:
If the variable has a `custom-type' property, it must be a widget and the
`:prompt-value' property of that widget will be used for reading the value.
+ If the variable also has a `custom-get' property, that is used for finding
+ the current value of the variable, otherwise `symbol-value' is used.
If optional COMMENT argument is non-nil, also prompt for a comment and return
it as the third element in the list."
