RE: Customize doc strings and tag strings do not respect \\<...> and \\[

I should add that the same problem exists for :tag strings.

--------

    emacs -q
    
    (defcustom foo nil
      "*Behavior of `\\<my-map>\\[my-cmd]' when foobaz is in the wind."
      :type 'boolean)
    
    Then, `C-h v foo' shows the doc string correctly as, say, "Behavior of
    `M-a' when foobaz is in the wind."  However, when you click the
    Customize link and get to the Customize buffer, the key bindings are
    not substituted in the doc string. You see this:
    
    Behavior of `\<my-map>\[my-cmd]' when foobaz is in the wind.
    
    Note that one level of backslash is removed.
