Re: `set-variable' should use :set

[Stefan Monnier]

I'm surprised that this discussion compares customize-variable and
set-variable: obviously set-variable has a completely different UI which
means that customize-variable cannot replace it.

But there is also customize-set-variable, which is what we should
compare it against.  So I think Drew wants set-variable and
customize-set-variable to be made more similar.  I would agree and
I think we should merge them.
I would also suggest that it's a good opportunity to obsolete
variable-interactive.
