Any pointers? [1] And I couldn't see any usage pattern. I thought that they were just missing, because the programmer forgot to add them in the first place.

[1] (info "(elisp)Variable Definitions") doesn't mention :link at all. `C-h f defcustom RET' neither. -- ,,, (o o) ---ooO-(_)-Ooo--- PGP key available via WWW http://rsteib.home.pages.de/
