	The customizations are saved to custom-file, which is not
	necessarily ~/.emacs.

	Alternatively, we may decide to use 'bookmark for the URI
	bookmarks as well.  I have no idea what the benefits (apart from
	getting rid of potential code duplication) it may bring, if any.

	But personally, I’ve ended up just using a plain setq in my
	~/.emacs, with neither Customize nor EWW native bookmark support
	getting in the way.  (One may want to redefine both
	eww-read-bookmarks and eww-write-bookmarks to no-op when going
	this way, BTW.)
