   It probably should. I'll take a look at it. I'm not custom expert,
   though; I hardly use the stuff.

I have not been following this thread.  Are you discussing making
set-variable calling any :set function?  We decided quite a while ago
to do that.  But there are some subtleties involved, for instance with
buffer local variables.  We decided to put it off till after the
release.
