I think splitting them into different parts would be confusing. On the other 
hand, “variable modified outside Customize” isn’t that mysterious IMO. 
Customize’s settings should always override other code, I think they are 
appended at the end of init.el every time they are saved. Speaking of that, we 
are not supposed to use custom-save-variables in init.el, which makes using 
custom more undesirable.

I think I can fix that.
