However, wouldn't it also be useful to be able to distinguish all user variables (options) - whether customizable or not - from internal variables? Yes, but is it useful to have them in a Custom buffer? M-x apropos-variable will show all (loaded) user-options (defined with defcustom or docstring starting with a `*') and with a numeric arg it shows all variables. Of course, it will not show them in a Custom buffer. Sincerely, Luc.
