I saw this fix that was posted on comp.emacs.xemacs in December 2007.
It doesn't appear to have been applied yet. It fixes a bug that I
introduced in 2002-01-16. Mea culpa!

In "man.el" there is the following customization of
variable "Manual-
switches"
(defcustom Manual-switches nil
"List of switches to the man program."
:type '(choice (list (string :tag "switches"))
(const :tag "none" nil))
:group 'man)
Changing the customization to:
(defcustom Manual-switches nil
"List of switches to the man program."
:type '(choice (const :tag "none" nil)
(repeat (string :tag "switch")))
:group 'man)
The fix is obviously correct, and I will apply it shortly, but is
there a reason for putting the "none"/nil choice first? I tend to
favor putting the "no customizations"/nil last.

I guess the variable's default value, nil, matches both the const nil
form and the repeat string form. If the customize interface shows the
first applicable choice then it would be necessary to put the const
nil choice first lest it be redundant.

D'oh. It *is* redundant, isn't it. Unless somebody comes up with a
good reason not to, I'm just going to get rid of the const nil and
parent choice widget, too.

FWIW, although it's strictly redundant I think offering the choice
makes for a better user experience and would leave Alan's patch as-is.
