here's the typical C-h v output,
bla-bla-bla value is t
Documentation:
*If non-nil, offer to bla-bla-bla...
OK, but wouldn't it be neat for it to tell what its original or
default value was, along with its current value? That way one
wouldn't have to poke around to see if it was one's .emacs that gave
it the current value... I'm talking about some default value checker,
not just asking the author to note the default value in the
documentation.

Not really, IMO.

M-! emacs -q --no-site-file --eval '(describe-variable (quote bla-bla-bla))'
