Re: Customization problem

[Richard Stallman]

    The criterion could be a symbol in `obarray'.  Before
    `custom-save-variables' searching in it, it first insure the symbol
    is interned.

I don't understand this at all.

    My question is, if `custom-save-variables' signals an error, what
    can the user do?

The user will realize that the command he issued (the one that tries
to set a customization) cannot be used because of the previous error
(in loading the init file).

    Can the user load all customizations when she/he sees the
    error?

Who knows?  But I think often the answer will be no,
because Emacs tried that at startup and failed.
