The doc strings for these two commands are very similar. IIUC, the main
difference is that s-v sets the current value only, and c-s-v sets the
default value. I might not understand the difference 100% well - what is it?
Also, customize-set-variable sets the customized value, so that the
variable does not become "rogue". That is to say, it works completely
with Custom.
- Can we change the UI of s-v so that it too allows completion
when appropriate (e.g. for a `choice' that includes `const's)?
If completion can be used for c-s-v, then why not also for s-v?
I see no harm in that.
Whether it makes sense to have both commands, I am not sure,
but I don't want to consider changing that now.
