My issue here is that while you can modify the list, when saved you will
store the entire modified list, and no the modifications you made on the
base variable.

E.g. considering `eglot-server-programs', just because I want to an
additional server entry, I don't want to fix the list of servers in a
`custom-set-variables' block and ignore any future updates that have
nothing to do with the additional entry.
