Having now looked at the code, I actually don't understand why the
documentation says the symbol should be a custom group.  Nothing in
the code enforces that or relies on that, so it sounds like a
gratuitous limitation to me.  Names of custom group are usually so
general that they don't really add any useful information to the
message.
