    > The information should be readily available.

    You can look into .emacs.  The information is not encrypted, it is not
    binary.

It is a good idea for every program to help users find the internal
data that implements any particular customization.  But since all the
Customize data is together in .emacs, it would be enough to have
one button at the top of every Custom buffer that takes you to
.emacs and goes to the start of the Custom data.
