+@defun custom-reevaluate-setting symbol
+This function re-evaluates the standard value of @var{symbol}, which
+should be a user option declared via @code{defcustom}. (If the
+variable was customized, this function re-evaluates the saved value
+instead.) This is useful for customizable options that are defined
+before their value could be computed correctly, such as variables
+defined in packages that are loaded at dump time, but depend on the
+run-time information. For example, the value could be a file whose
+precise name depends on the hierarchy of files when Emacs runs, or a
+name of a program that needs to be searched at run time.
+
+A good place to put calls to this function is in the function
+@code{command-line} that is run during startup (@pxref{Startup Summary})
+or in the various hooks it calls.
