You might be right. It does seem however that the :get and :set functions
don't need to do anything special. And that's the problem: we need to do
something special (like move the big custom-set-variables block) when we
move the custom settings from one place (like .emacs) to another, not when
we set the custom-file variable. The first happens extremely rarely, the
second would happen at every Emacs startup.
