Like what? Would we accept, for example, a string where the type is 'symbol'? Or any value where type is 'boolean'? And I'm also not sure we want this: presumably, if the defcustom's author specified a type, they meant it, no? Which is why I asked for opinions (but for now got only yours). Stefan, WDYT?
