Ah but hang on.
First, is it reasonable to consider it obvious (I mean, it wasn't to me)
that using C-c [ invokes customize?
Second, even if it is reasonable, isn't it the case that customize
offers a temporary change of variables? You have to explicitly ask it to
make the change permanent, no?
Overall, it just caught me unawares that C-c [ should write something in
one of my files without even telling me let alone asking me. Maybe it's
just me though.
