 172 :initialize
 173         VALUE should be a function used to initialize the
 174         variable.  It takes two arguments, the symbol and value
 175         given in the `defcustom' call.  The default is
 176         `custom-initialize-default'
 177 :set    VALUE should be a function to set the value of the symbol.
 178         It takes two arguments, the symbol to set and the value to
 179         give it.  The default choice of function is `custom-set-default'.
 180 :get    VALUE should be a function to extract the value of symbol.
 181         The function takes one argument, a symbol, and should return
 182         the current value for that symbol.  The default choice of function
 183         is `custom-default-value'.
 184 :require
 185         VALUE should be a feature symbol.  If you save a value
 186         for this option, then when your `.emacs' file loads the value,
 187         it does (require VALUE) first.
 188 :version
 189         VALUE should be a string specifying that the variable was
 190         first introduced, or its default value was changed, in Emacs
 191         version VERSION.
