Well, I did quote the STANDARD argument in my defcustom correctly and
really actually know that in an already quoted list I should not quote
symbols again, but that did not prevent me from doing it wrong and then
being unable to see my mistake ;)
Since 'foo is (quote foo) which is an unquoted expression the docstring
of `defcustom` is correct, and I did not think it through before doing
my bug-report, shame on me.
Thanks for your long and interesting explanations anyway!
