1. The doc string of `custom-unlispify-menu-entries' says only this:
 
 "Display menu entries as words instead of symbols if non-nil."
 
What menu entries? Which menu?
 
It took me a while, searching and experimenting, to find that this is
about the `Custom' menu's submenus. Please clarify what this is for in
the doc string.

2. The doc string of `custom-unlispify-tag-names' says only this:

 "Display tag names as words instead of symbols if non-nil."

What's a tag name? This won't make much sense to an Emacs user who isn't savvy
to Emacs Lisp, `defcustom' :type, and :tag. Please explain this
better. A simple illustrative example never hurts: show what happens if
it's nil vs if it's non-nil.

These doc strings are all the user has to go on, since these options are not
described in any manual.

I still agree with myself, so I'm closing this report.
