23.0.60; `...' in doc strings of defcustoms |

(defcustom foo 'alpha
"Value `alpha' means...
Value `beta' means...
Value `gamma' means..."
:type '(choice
(const :tag "First tag" alpha)
(const :tag "Second tag" beta)
(const :tag "Third tag" gamma)))
M-x customize-option foo
Each of the `...' in the doc string gets a mouseover property and
becomes a link (call it a button, if you like). This is inappropriate.
If you click such a link, you get this:
alpha is void as a variable.
Documentation:
Not documented as a variable.
This is ridiculous. Emacs should be able to do better than this. If it
can't be smart enough to distinguish variables, then it should not add
the mouse-face and links at all for `...'. It is not uncommon for an
option doc to describe the acceptable Lisp values, enclosing them with
`...' when they are symbols.
