Use variable `custom-file'. That's what it's for. The only thing
that messes with my init file is me.
But that does not mean that I don't take advantage of Customize's
type-checking, `:set' and `:initialize' trigger actions, etc.
This too is a common misconception about Customize. It is _you_
who invites Customize to mess with your init file, if you don't
use `custom-file'. Don't blame Customize for that.
(You might blame Emacs design for even letting Customize do that,
and not just raising an error if `custom-file' is not defined as
a writable file. IOW, a design bug, so far.)
