It sounds strange to me to have a defcustom for this. Are you saying
that you want this no-squeeze variant for all or many M-q commands or
for prolonged periods of time? It sounds like a one-off feature, so
perhaps some special value of the prefix argument, like zero or maybe
"C-u C-u", would be a better UI, as that would allow one to activate
this option for a specific command.
