+(defun set-specifier (specifier value &optional locale tag-set how-to-add)
+  "Add a specification or specifications to SPECIFIER.
+
+This function adds a specification of VALUE in locale LOCALE.
+LOCALE indicates where this specification is active, and should be
+a buffer, a window, a frame, a device, or the symbol `global' to
+indicate that it applies everywhere.  LOCALE usually defaults to
+`global' if omitted.
+
+VALUE is usually what is called an \"instantiator\" (which, roughly
+speaking, corresponds to the \"value\" of the property governed by
+SPECIFIER).  The valid instantiators for SPECIFIER depend on the
+type of SPECIFIER (which you can determine using `specifier-type').
+The specifier `scrollbar-width', for example, is of type `integer',
+meaning its valid instantiators are integers.  The specifier
+governing the background color of the `default' face (you can
+retrieve this specifier using `(face-foreground 'default)') is
+of type `color', meaning its valid instantiators are strings naming
+colors and color-instance objects.  For some types of specifiers,
+such as `image' and `toolbar', the instantiators can be very
+complex.  Generally this is documented in the appropriate predicate
+function -- `color-specifier-p', `image-specifier-p',
+`toolbar-specifier-p', etc.
+
+NOTE: It does *not* work to give a VALUE of nil as a way of
+removing the specifications for a locale.  Use `remove-specifier'
+instead. (And keep in mind that, if you omit the LOCALE argument
+to `remove-specifier', it removes *all* specifications!  If you
+want to remove just the `global' specification, make sure to
+specify a LOCALE of `global'.)
+
+VALUE can also be a list of instantiators.  This means basically,
+\"try each one in turn until you get one that works\".  This allows
+you to give funky instantiators that may only work in some cases,
+and provide more normal backups for the other cases. (For example,
+you might like the color \"darkseagreen2\", but some X servers
+don't recognize this color, so you could provide a backup
+\"forest green\".  Color TTY devices probably won't recognize this
+either, so you could provide a second backup \"green\".  You'd
+do this by specifying an instantiator
+
+'(\"darkseagreen2\" \"forest green\" \"green\")
+
+VALUE can also be various more complicated forms; see below.
+
+Optional argument TAG-SET is a tag or a list of tags, to be associated
+with the VALUE.  Tags are symbols (usually naming device types, such
+as `x' and `tty', or device classes, such as `color', `mono', and
+`grayscale'); specifying a TAG-SET restricts the scope of VALUE to
+devices that match all specified tags. (You can also create your
+own tags using `define-specifier-tag', and use them to identify
+specifications added by you, so you can remove them later.)
+
+Optional argument HOW-TO-ADD should be either nil or one of the
+symbols `prepend', `append', `remove-tag-set-prepend',
+`remove-tag-set-append', `remove-locale', `remove-locale-type',
+or `remove-all'.  This specifies what to do with existing
+specifications in LOCALE (and possibly elsewhere in the specifier).
+Most of the time, you do not need to worry about this argument;
+the default behavior of `remove-tag-set-prepend' is usually fine.
+See `copy-specifier' and `add-spec-to-specifier' for a full
+description of what each of these means.
+
+VALUE can actually be anything acceptable to `canonicalize-spec-list';
+this includes, among other things:
+
+-- a cons of a locale and an instantiator (or list of instantiators)
+-- a cons of a tag or tag-set and an instantiator (or list of
+   instantiators)
+-- a cons of a locale and the previous type of item
+-- a list of one or more of any of the previous types of items
+
+However, in these cases, you cannot give a LOCALE or TAG-SET,
+because they do not make sense. (You will probably get an error if
+you try this.)
+
+Finally, VALUE can itself be a specifier (of the same type as
+SPECIFIER), if you want to copy specifications from one specifier
+to another; this is equivalent to calling `copy-specifier', and
+LOCALE, TAG-SET, and HOW-TO-ADD have the same semantics as that
+function.
+
+Note that `set-specifier' is exactly complementary to `specifier-specs'
+except in the case where SPECIFIER has no specs at all in it but nil
+is a valid instantiator (in that case, `specifier-specs' will return
+nil (meaning no specs) and `set-specifier' will interpret the `nil'
+as meaning \"I'm adding a global instantiator and its value is `nil'\"),
+or in strange cases where there is an ambiguity between a spec-list
+and an inst-list, etc. (The built-in specifier types are designed
+in such a way as to avoid any such ambiguities.)
+
+NOTE: If you want to to work with spec-lists, you should probably not
+use either `set-specifier' or `specifier-specs', but should use the
+lower-level functions `add-spec-list-to-specifier' and `specifier-spec-list'.
+These functions always work with fully-qualified spec-lists; thus, there
+is no possibility for ambiguity and no need to go through the function
+`canonicalize-spec-list', which is potentially time-consuming."
