Thanks for filing it, so we have a clear bug-number for this long
standing problem.  If someone wants to take a crack at fixing it,
I think that we should add a `set-toplevel-default' which defvar and
defcustom could use, as for how to implement it, I you can take a look
at the check&warning in the C code of `defvar'.
