I think so, yes.
So am I correct in my assesment of the docstring being slightly
wrong?
The docstring is correct, but you can only really understand it if you
already know what's going on.
At least I can't pinpoint anything actually wrong with:
The unevaluated VALUE is stored as the saved value for SYMBOL.
If NOW is present and non-nil, VALUE is also evaluated and bound as
the default value for the SYMBOL.
In other words:
Store VALUE as the saved value for SYMBOL. VALUE will be evaluated
and set as SYMBOL's default value by `defcustom' later.
If NOW is present and non-nil, immediately evaluate VALUE and set
it as SYMBOL's default value.
(I also changed "bind" to "set" because "bind" normally
refers to a
temporary binding performed by `let'.)
