Re: Documentation not clear for the Lisp function set-variable

[Luc Teirlinck]

You might want to try out `customize-face(-other-window)' and see how
it handles face aliases.  (This behavior has been changed relatively
recently.)  I believe that I will adapt `customize-variable' and
`customize-variable-other-window' to follow the new
`customize-face(-other-window)' behavior.  (This is not done yet.)

I do not know whether or not it is important for `set-variable' to be
consistent with that.  Maybe not.  I just wanted to be sure that you
are aware of the `customize' situation.

Sincerely,

Luc.
