What Stefan M said was that you should not autoload variables, which is
advice not specific to custom whatsoever.
Here is Stefan's entire reply for reference:
As a general rule, you don't want to autoload variables.
Yes, it's a known problem, and there's no really good solution to it
(each solution I could come up with had its own set of
bugs/misbehaviors), which is why all I can say is "don't autoload
variables, please".
Even in the case where it happens to do what you want, it's
undesirable in my experience. It just has too many quirks and corner
cases
Nowhere does he mention custom.
