What about adding a line to the top:
# Adding custom boot stanza by entering them as you want them in grub.cfg
# below the ... line

That would help.

I generally don't read through arbitrary shell code in 40_custom to
understand what it is doing.

ARAGLIN (n. archaic)
A medieval practical joke played by young squires on a knight aspirant
the afternoon he is due to start his vigil. As the knight arrives at
the castle the squires attempt to raise the drawbridge very suddenly
as the knight and his charger step on to it.
