Richard added the (perhaps oddly named) `customize-changed' alias,
though.

I have no strong opinions about this, but we do usually refer to
defcustom'd variables as "user options", so it doesn't seem unreasonable
for a user to expect that `customize-changed-options' will list only
"user options" -- that seems like a natural expectation in this context,
even if "options" has a wider meaning outside a Customize context.
