Right.  That was my proposal, at least.

Currently we implicitly have `custom-file' =
init file.  (That's the default behavior, and
it's only implicit - the value of `custom-file'
is not the location of your init file.

My proposal would force you to make that
identification explicit, setting `custom-file'
to your init file location.

You're happy in that case, but I'm not. ;-)
