The "Changed outside customize" has been a great help for me ...
We could provide an option ...
As far as I can see, the only reasonable way to avoid a message of
that sort is to make sure that customize reports the *actual* value.
And then, it would be useful for customize to tell a user whether the
actual value was set by custom-set-faces or custom-set-variables or by
some other function.
Please remember: we do not want to discourage people, especially
non-hackers, from learning Emacs Lisp. We want people to write code,
even simple code, in their .emacs file. Otherwise, Emacs becomes
mysterious.
The interface that uses the custom-set-* functions should always be a
stepping stone. We should expect novices to edit expressions that
appear automatically generated in their .emacs file.
