Regarding the second proposal: I have quickly hacked together a
functional example of type checking, see the attachment. If we think
this should be integrated into Emacs, I can make some minor edits and
propose a patch. In that case, I would probably put the functions
somewhere in cus-edit.el or custom.el.
Note that at the moment it depends on the internal function
`custom--standard-value', which is a one-line function accessing a
property of the symbol.
cfg-check-defcustom.el
Description: Text document
Also, note that I added the symbol into the warning text because the
goal of this command is to mass-check an entire group, whereas `setopt'
did not mention the variable symbol name. Not sure if `setopt' should
show the symbol in trouble, but I understand if we don't want to do
that.
