The documentation for 'customize-apropos' is under 'Specific Customization' which doesn't exactly jump out at you. I do not see any menu item called `Specific Customization', so I don't understand. apropos-variable is found in Find Options by Name under the Help menu. There is also no mention of customize-apropos-options, customize-apropos-groups, or customize-apropos-faces. There should be. I tend to think these commands are not worth documenting, and I doubt they are worth having.
