I relatively recently committed the patch below to custom.el. What
the patch did was make Custom recognize aliases. For instance, the
option `blink-cursor' was recently declared obsolete and made into an
alias for `blink-cursor-mode'. Without the patch, if blink-cursor was
set in the `custom-set-variables' form, it would no longer get recognized.
After the patch it is recognized. But then Custom updates the
obsolete `blink-cursor' with `blink-cursor-mode', which would be
ideal, except that if one then uses the same custom-set-variables form
in Emacs 21.3, it does not work any more.
I do not know what to do with this.
Unless someone has an idea for a change that is clearly desirable,
we should just live with it.
