Subject: 26.1; 1) `:tag' for `restricted-sexp' (not in a choice, set, etc.),
 2) Remove `Value Menu' if a no-op
Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2019 20:05:32 -0700 (PDT)

1. Use `M-x customize-option' for each of these:

(defcustom foo 42
  "Foo..."
  :type '(restricted-sexp
          :tag "Positive integer"
          :match-alternatives ((lambda (x) (and (natnump x)  (not (zerop x)))))
          :value ignore))

(defcustom bar 42
  "Bar..."
  :type '(choice (restricted-sexp
                  :tag "Positive integer"
                  :match-alternatives ((lambda (x) (and (natnump x)  (not (zerop x)))))
                  :value ignore)))

The `:tag' has no effect for `foo' - there is no label.  I think that
according to the doc it should have the same effect as for `bar'.


2. In addition, a reasonable and helpful enhancement for `choice' would
be to not show `Value Menu' at all if there is only one choice
available (i.e., when that button/menu is a no-op).
