The simplest solution is to provide a variadic function that would call
`custom-reevaluate-setting' + perhaps some additional checks to avoid an
issue like in bug#72077.  I feel that this would be the simplest option
that wouldn't require fiddling with defcustom internals.  We can
document what :initialize to use as well (thought I'm guessing it would
be `custom-initialize-changed' most of the time).
