If this variable is @code{nil}, you are allowed to set and bind symbols
whose names start with @samp{:} however you wish.  This is to make it
possible to run old Lisp programs which do that.

This function returns @code{t} if @var{variable} is a user option---a
variable intended to be set by the user for customization---and
@code{nil} otherwise.  (Variables other than user options exist for the
internal purposes of Lisp programs, and users need not know about them.)

User option variables are distinguished from other variables by the
first character of the @code{variable-documentation} property.  If the
property exists and is a string, and its first character is @samp{*},
then the variable is a user option.

User option variables are distinguished from other variables either
though being declared using @code{defcustom}@footnote{They may also be
declared equivalently in @file{cus-start.el}.} or by the first character
of their @code{variable-documentation} property.  If the property exists
and is a string, and its first character is @samp{*}, then the variable
is a user option.
