> With custom-initialize-changed we get the following:
> 
> - If you customize the other options but not dictionary-search-interface
>   before loading dictionary.el, then your settings persist (they are not
>   overridden) after loading dictionary.el.  If you later customize
>   dictionary-search-interface, then it affects does the other options,
>   as expected.
> - If you do customize dictionary-search-interface before loading
>   dictionary.el, then it does set the other options when you load
>   dictionary.el, whether or not you've also set the other options (so it
>   doesn't make sense to customize both dictionary-search-interface and
>   the other options, you either customize dictionary-search-interface or
>   individual options).
> 
> So AFAICT it's safe in the sense that it facilitates use cases that
> currently do not work (customizing the other options before loading
> dictionary.el) without prohibiting any existing use case.

Thanks, so please install on the emacs-30 branch.
