2. Maybe the docstring should warn the user to use an absolute file
name. (This may not be obvious at all to a beginning user.) Very
confusing things can happen if a relative file name is used when
setting this through Custom with a bad default-directory.
I will explain that in the doc string.
3. The last paragraph fails to point out that if you set `custom-file'
through Custom, Custom will automatically copy your
`custom-set-variables' and `custom-set-faces' forms to
`custom-file'. (But it will not erase them from .emacs or the old
`custom-file'.)
If it is smart enough to do this, it could also delete them from
the old custom file. Would you like to implement that?
