It sounds more confusing for the user to have two variables which are `the
same but different' like that.  I think we should be trying to make customize
_more_ of a thin UI layer on top of existing mechanisms, not less.

I think Stefan's exactly right that the _right_ thing to do is something
roughly equivalent to `defcustom global-map'.
