Subject: 23.0.92; custom-guess-alist should use type `alist' for alists
Date: Sun, 26 Apr 2009 12:27:42 -0700

I think (not sure nothing would break) that custom-guess-alist should
have this for alists:
 
("-alist\\'" (alist :key-type sexp :value-type sexp))
 
instead of what it currently has:
 
("-alist\\'" (repeat (cons sexp sexp)))
 
Presumably, the value in use was written before type `alist' was available.

Sounds likely.  I've now done the suggested change in Emacs 24.  If this
breaks something for someone, please revert.
