Re: Customize buttons that change user's custom fileshouldaskforconfirmation

    I think that it would be a very bad idea to move away from being able to
    manipulate (e.g. edit, set, reset, & save) individual options. A given
    custom buffer will perhaps have many options in several different states.
    There must be a way to save one or more options in the buffer but not
    necessarily all. Otherwise, we will get more confusion and operator error.

I think it will be less confusing and will lead to less error, because
it is simple and easy to predict.

    But to always use the entire Customize buffer as that selection would be
    restrictive, IMO.

It is restrictive only in the sense that there are fewer different
ways to set the same values.  That is what makes it simple.


The idea of having "selection" of options is a complication.  It won't
solve any of the problems, so I am not interested in it.  We will
not go there.
