Why put the "standard" rules into the defcustom? why not leave them in
place as "plan B", and leave the hook for customizations only?  That's
what hooks are normally for -- _modifying_ the default behavior, not
supplanting it.  E.g., with your suggestion, what happens if someone
customizes the value to nil?

Thanks.
