Documentation

Install user customizations of variable values specified in ARGS.

These settings are registered as theme user. The arguments should each be a list of the form:

  (SYMBOL EXP [NOW [REQUEST [COMMENT]]])

This stores EXP (without evaluating it) as the saved value for SYMBOL. If NOW is present and non-nil, then also evaluate EXP and set the default value for the SYMBOL to the value of EXP.

REQUEST is a list of features we must require in order to handle SYMBOL properly. COMMENT is a comment string about SYMBOL.
