I hadn't even thought of that, but if it works, I'd call it a feature.
But still...

...Yes, you're mistunderstanding me. My problem is *not* related to what
can or cannot be done through the forms-like interface of customize,
because I very emphatically *don't* want to use it.

My "problem" is that if setting a variable through the interface causes
side effects, I want to be able to get those very same side effects
through a simple asignment in my .emacs.

Not for `inhibit-startup-echo-area-message'. For *every* customizable
option.
