First of all, no, I was not trying to gaslight you.

In the future, please try to choose better words when interacting with
other people (such as me).  I don't make comments on your person, so you
should reciprocate.

Secondly, `setq' will have the exact same problems with autoloads that
custom-set-variables will have, and both have very little real problems
with autoloads.

It is difficult to tell exactly which problems you are referring to,
since you haven't presented a concrete instance of them, but from a
general point of view both methods of setting variables will have the
same (rare) problems with autoloads.

report-emacs-bug is also your friend, as always.  If custom really has a
bug with autoloads, then we will want to fix it.

Thanks.
