This means that M-x set-variable recognizes it.
See also `user-variable-p'.
If INITVALUE is missing, SYMBOL's value is not set.
+
+ If SYMBOL has a local binding, then this form affects the local
+ binding. This is usually not what you want. Thus, if you need to
+ load a file defining variables, with this form or with `defconst' or
+ `defcustom', you should always load that file _outside_ any bindings
+ for these variables. \(`defconst' and `defcustom' behave similarly in
+ this respect.)

If SYMBOL is buffer-local, its default value is what is set;
buffer-local values are not affected.
DOCSTRING is optional.
+
+ If SYMBOL has a local binding, then this form sets the local binding's
+ value. However, you should normally not make local bindings for
+ variables defined with this form.
