When doing a C-h v the Help buffer shows the value of the variable and also
its documentation.

Bind the currently unused key 'e' to edit the variable's value, maybe in a separate popup
buffer if the value is complex. E.g. the user presses e, the value pops up rendered in
editable lisp format, the user edits it in place, presses C-c C-c and the variable is set
to the new value.
