Ah but hang on. First, is it reasonable to consider it obvious (I mean, it wasn't to me) that using C-c [ invokes customize? Second, even if it is reasonable, isn't it the case that customize offers a temporary change of variables? You have to explicitly ask it to make the change permanent, no? Overall, it just caught me unawares that C-c [ should write something in one of my files without even telling me let alone asking me. Maybe it's just me though.
