DOC is the variable documentation.

Neither SYMBOL nor VALUE needs to be quoted.
If SYMBOL is not already bound, initialize it to VALUE.
The remaining arguments should have the form

   [KEYWORD VALUE]...

The following keywords are meaningful:

:type	VALUE should be a widget type for editing the symbols value.
:options VALUE should be a list of valid members of the widget type.
:group  VALUE should be a customization group.
        Add SYMBOL to that group.
:link LINK-DATA
        Include an external link after the documentation string for this
        item.  This is a sentence containing an active field which
        references some other documentation.
   
        There are three alternatives you can use for LINK-DATA:
   
        (custom-manual INFO-NODE)
             Link to an Info node; INFO-NODE is a string which specifies
             the node name, as in \"(emacs)Top\".  The link appears as
             `[manual]' in the customization buffer.
   
        (info-link INFO-NODE)
             Like `custom-manual' except that the link appears in the
             customization buffer with the Info node name.
   
        (url-link URL)
             Link to a web page; URL is a string which specifies the URL.
             The link appears in the customization buffer as URL.
   
        You can specify the text to use in the customization buffer by
        adding `:tag NAME' after the first element of the LINK-DATA; for
        example, (info-link :tag \"foo\" \"(emacs)Top\") makes a link to the
        Emacs manual which appears in the buffer as `foo'.
   
        An item can have more than one external link; however, most items
        have none at all.
:initialize
	VALUE should be a function used to initialize the
	variable.  It takes two arguments, the symbol and value
	given in the `defcustom' call.  The default is
	`custom-initialize-reset'.
:set	VALUE should be a function to set the value of the symbol.
	It takes two arguments, the symbol to set and the value to
	give it.  The default choice of function is `custom-set-default'.
:get	VALUE should be a function to extract the value of symbol.
	The function takes one argument, a symbol, and should return
	the current value for that symbol.  The default choice of function
	is `custom-default-value'.
:require
	VALUE should be a feature symbol.  If you save a value
	for this option, then when your `.emacs' file loads the value,
	it does (require VALUE) first.
:version
        VALUE should be a string specifying that the variable was
        first introduced, or its default value was changed, in Emacs
        version VERSION.
:tag LABEL
        Use LABEL, a string, instead of the item's name, to label the item
        in customization menus and buffers.
:load FILE
        Load file FILE (a string) before displaying this customization
        item.  Loading is done with `load-library', and only if the file is
        not already loaded.
:set-after VARIABLE
	Specifies that SYMBOL should be set after VARIABLE when
	both have been customized.

Read the section about customization in the Emacs Lisp manual for more
information."

(defmacro defface (face spec doc &rest args)
  "Declare FACE as a customizable face that defaults to SPEC.
FACE does not need to be quoted.

Third argument DOC is the face documentation.

If FACE has been set with `custom-set-face', set the face attributes
as specified by that function, otherwise set the face attributes
according to SPEC.

The remaining arguments should have the form

   [KEYWORD VALUE]...

The following KEYWORDs are defined:

:group  VALUE should be a customization group.
        Add FACE to that group.

SPEC should be an alist of the form ((DISPLAY ATTS)...).

The first element of SPEC where the DISPLAY matches the frame
is the one that takes effect in that frame.  The ATTRs in this
element take effect; the other elements are ignored, on that frame.

ATTS is a list of face attributes followed by their values:
  (ATTR VALUE ATTR VALUE...)

The possible attributes are `:family', `:width', `:height', `:weight',
`:slant', `:underline', `:overline', `:strike-through', `:box',
`:foreground', `:background', `:stipple', `:inverse-video', and `:inherit'.

DISPLAY can either be the symbol t, which will match all frames, or an
alist of the form \((REQ ITEM...)...).  For the DISPLAY to match a
FRAME, the REQ property of the frame must match one of the ITEM.  The
following REQ are defined:

`type' (the value of `window-system')
  Under X, in addition to the values `window-system' can take,
  `motif', `lucid' and `x-toolkit' are allowed, and match when
  the Motif toolkit, Lucid toolkit, or any X toolkit is in use.

`class' (the frame's color support)
  Should be one of `color', `grayscale', or `mono'.

`background' (what color is used for the background text)
  Should be one of `light' or `dark'.

Read the section about customization in the Emacs Lisp manual for more
information."
