According to its doc string, custom-set-variables sets each SYMBOL's
value cell. It does not call each SYBMOL's function cell.
Do you understand the difference between a variable and a function?
But only numeric arguments are mentioned. And a quick peek in the Emacs
Lisp manual doesn't say if nil is a numeric argument. Therefore the
docstring of blink-cursor-mode should be beefed up perhaps.
