Fix haskell-customize

[gracjan]

To remove haskell-customize do:

• add ;;;###autoload to every defcustom and defface
• remove haskell-customize function

[rosekunkel]

Shouldn't ;;;###autoload also be added to every defgroup?

[gracjan]

As far as I understand documentation defgroup and autoload do not go well together.

[rosekunkel]

Where in the documentation have you seen that? This seems to indicate that autoload has special behavior for defgroup, just like for defcustom.

[gracjan]

Great! I must have read documentation for an older version of Emacs. In that case can you provide autload definitions pull request?

[rosekunkel]

Removing haskell-customize seems to work for the most part, except for one snag: the group hierarchy is not visible through the customize or customize-browse interfaces until the file has been loaded. Groups can still be customized directly with customize-group, but they don't appear as subgroups until they are directly accessed or something in the same file is loaded.

[gracjan]

Seems correct to me. As I checked customize groups in other modes are not populated until lisp files are loaded. Do other modes do something more?

[rosekunkel]

I don't know if other modes do something more. It seems like it would be a decrease in functionality from the current customize mechanism, however.

[gracjan]

In that case lets do it. Can you also change documentation that points to haskell-customize? Write about M-x customize-group RET haskell.

Fyi, adding autoload cookies to all defcustoms seems to be the likely cause for #1043

IMHO, autoload cookies should be added sparsely to definitions that really need them, not to every single definition; they are only supposed to give Emacs hints for a few main entry points

[gracjan]

Closing because #1043 is fixed.
