Thank you for catching this, don't know how I missed that.

Yes I agree and I tried that, but customise doesn't handle newlines very
well. I would prefer the newlines show up as \n rather than actual
newlines in my custom-set-variables. I don't mind editing it later to
fix it either. But when I customise some other variable and save,
customize saves it again with newlines instead of keeping my edited
value with \n.
