Should we provide the K combinator?

Ah, so that's why you had a defcustom?  Then maybe having it be
a defcustom is a good idea.


        Stefan "to tell you the truth, I haven't bothered to look at the
                code to try to understand what these things are doing,
                so I have no opinion on whether it should be a defcustom
                or not, or if should be a function defcustom rather
                than, say, a boolean defcustom"
