That's what I meant by this:

^^^^^^
The question comes down to the kinds of "customization" we really expect from
users. If we expect that they will want to change the var value globally, then
a user option is appropriate. If we expect them to change it using Lisp, and
perhaps locally, then a non-option variable is appropriate.
And if we expect both possibilities then we can have both: an option and a
separate variable. We can decide which takes precedence and document that.
Yes, it can be reasonable (IMO, but others might disagree) to allow the
non-option var to take precedence, i.e., to allow the user option to be
overruled by code, provided this is well documented so users know what to
expect.
