I tested this a bit and you're right. A line of documentation wouldn't

@@ -302,7 +302,9 @@ Called with 5 arguments, PROCESS, SENDER, RESPONSE, TARGET
and TEXT."
:group 'rcirc)
(defcustom rcirc-decode-coding-system 'utf-8
- "Coding system used to decode incoming irc messages."
+ "Coding system used to decode incoming irc messages.

:type 'coding-system
:group 'rcirc)
