[proposed PATCH] Re: Customize and `nil' variables

Hrvoje> Yikes, this is because the docstring begins with Hrvoje> "Non-nil", and confuses the Customize guessing code. Set Hrvoje> (or change) `custom-guess-doc-alist' to work around the Hrvoje> problem. Thanks. In this case, isn't changing `custom-guess-name-alist' better? There was a typo in the docstring for `custom-guess-doc-alist'. Also I think it's useful to point to `custom-guess-type' to understand the precedence for both of these variables. I think that there should be a pointer to a documentation to a list of types in these docs somewhere; maybe it should go in the docstring of `custom-guess-type'? 1998-05-01 Stephen J.
