bug#21695: 25.0.50; Change most occurrences of `setq' in Emacs manual to `customize-set-variable'? Really?

One of them is allout-auto-activation.  To see that autoloaded variables 
do not have a custom-set property until they are actually loaded, you can 
use:

(defmacro check (sym)
  `(when (get ,sym 'custom-set)
     (display-warning 'setq (format "`%s' should be set with 
`customize-set-variable'" ,sym))))
(check 'allout-auto-activation)
(load "allout")
(check 'allout-auto-activation)
