That's also my vague impression.
And I agree that this might help.
However, I disagree that it is not that much more convenient than setq. For one
thing, it respects the defcustom :type spec. For another, it uses a proper
interactive spec. The type-checking in particular is a win, IMO.
(FWIW, I use it often.)
