I did not know what to make of the above -- so did not comment
However my recent struggles to just set a variable in emacs (nothing
to do directly with customize) suggests that some basic emacs
infrastructure is really clunky
See the thread
Impossible to set org mode variable
In summary:
There is a variable v which shows value x as defined in file f
Look in the file f and it has value y
[Of course I am the first to admit that arcana about loaddefs, lexical vs
dynamic and what not are above my head]
