Actually, in retrospect, I think this was a little strong.  As far as I know
such `mode-variables' existed before customize, and all customize did was
make them `active' (and it had little choice, since it tries to be a
declarative interface).

However, making the variables active in customize leads to people thinking
that they are in lisp too.

Customize and lisp share the same namespace, so they have to play nice with
each other.
